Hi all –
We are using AX 2012 R2 CU6 and have been up and running since May 2014.
We use Standard costing, and are trying to determine if it is possible to include an static freight amount for our purchased items.

I have done a significant amount of digging and have discovered that, in the Cost Sheet, we can create a node called “Costs of Purchase”.
Nodes – for cost groups – can be created underneath this grouping, with the specified Cost groups then being assigned to their associated
Released Products purchase items.

Within this “Costs of Purchase” area, we can then create Overhead nodes – that could calculate the overhead entry (Freight – for example)
as a surcharge or rate – against the Costs of Purchase area.

I am looking for others who are also using this functionality within the Cost Sheet.

I am hoping you can share any best practices you may have, as well as any pitfalls you encountered.

Thanks so much….

Tamara,

I’ve set this up for a few clients. I wouldn’t say there are any best practices per se, as the setup is pretty straightforward. Most of my clients use the same GL account for the physical and financial receipt on the costing sheet node (accounts – WIP, accounts – costing).

I haven’t found any “gotchyas” post setup. If you need any documentation on setting this functionality up, you can reach out to me at ian.gorman@mcaconnect.com. I’ve got a write up since there isn’t much published online around this ask.

Cheers,
