As an additional issue, we've been struggling with part costing as
it relates to typecode and also to cost method.
I'm sure the reason you do not have a cost associated with the part
being purchased is that you do not yet have a PO (with cost)
transaction against this part.
Also, we have tried to monitor standard costed parts for their
actual build cost to see if the standard cost needs to be adjusted.
However, Vantage does not track STD, LAST, AVG costs separately.
Once you pick a cost method as STD and you build the part, then the
LAST and STD both will equal the STD cost set against the part. The
LAST cost DOES NOT represent the last actual build cost. We have
requested that this change but still waiting.
