Figuring out actual costing of Projects

V8.03.409C - using ODBC & custom Access queries

Maybe there is a way to do it inside of Vantage 8 but I never found it.
I kept running into material costs problems like you mention.
Either from sub-assemblies or non-stock/stock.

I think E9 users have a better chance of making project costs work.

I would love to know if anyone is in the same situation and if so, what do you do to figure out correct "actual" costs of projects. This is a major problem in our facility and we really need help. Thanks!
