Oracle Applications Cost Methods

Navigation Path: OPM Financials >> Cost Management >> Setup >> Method Codes
Steps:
1.     Enter the cost method code that identifies the costing method.
2.     Enter a brief description of the cost method.
3.     Select the cost method type that you are defining i.e. Standard Cost or Actual Cost.
4.     Select the Usage as General use or else Lab use. The general usage method is set by default. If
you set the usage to general use, the cost rollup considers only the production and costing recipes. If you set the usage to lab use, the lab recipes are used over the production or costing recipes. The usage field is valid only for the standard cost type. If you are using the actual cost type, then this field is disabled.
5.     Raw Material Calculation Type can only be access if you are defining the Actual Costing method in the Cost Type field. Indicate the type of raw material cost calculations that will occur for this actual costing method.
6.   Product Calculation Type can only be access if you are defining the Actual Costing method in the Cost Type field. If you want OPM to derive actual costs for product components, indicate the type of calculations it should perform.

7.   Save the screen.
