Is there anyway to use a vendors cost in the material cost worksheet without rolling standards? We roll standards once a year and recently we switched vendors for a product group. Right now, some of the product is 12 to 14 cents higher than what the new vendors cost is and we won’t see that until we roll costs again, which means we’re quoting off an incorrect price by quite a bit. Thanks!
How often do you want to do this, and for how many parts… one option would be to simply use the Cost Adjustment process to modify the costs of parts one at a time. This will modify the standard cost without rolling them.
Another option if you want to do this really regularly is to consider Average Cost for the purchased parts. This way you never have to adjust the standard cost for those items.
