We had a similar costing problem jumping from 6.1 -> 9.05. Things to
look at:
Company Config -> Production -> Job -> "Issued Manufactured Materials"
-> Enable MFG Cost Elements.
There was a bug in version 9.05.603 related to that setting, fixed in
some more recent version (605 I think). We got a hot fix for this, I
can probably dig up the SCR if this is affecting you.
Epicor support also had us looking at posting rules (GL Transaction
Types) before that bug was identified, but don't remember the details
now.

Subject: [Vantage] Cost rollup 9.05
Recently upgraded from version 6.1 to 9.05 and am doing a cost rollup.
I'm disappointed the way the system rolls up cost in 9.05
Previously you could see to total labour and material from the Cost
screen in the part tracker. Now it seems all sub-assemblies are rolled
into the costing as a Material cost which inflates the appearance of the
materials.
EG. Version 6.1 Part ABC - Material cost $20,000 Labour cost $15,000
Burden $7,000
Version 9.05 Part ABC - Material cost $38,000 Labour Cost - $2,800
Burden cost - $1,200
it only shows the Labour and Burden linked to the Main part and all
other labour and burden at lower levels are rolled into material cost
the only way to see a true cost is to use the BOM cost report.
Has any one experienced simular results?
Best regards,
Mark Howard
