Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC New Standard Item Costs
Executive Summary
The CAC New Standard Item Costs report is a change management tool for Standard Costing. It focuses specifically on the “Standard Cost Update” event—the moment when a “Pending” cost becomes “Frozen”. It allows the finance team to review exactly what changed during the last cost roll.
Business Challenge
- Impact Analysis: “We just updated costs for 5,000 items. Which ones changed the most?”
- Audit: Verifying that the cost update run on January 1st actually captured all the intended items.
- History: Providing a historical record of cost changes for a specific item over time.
Solution
This report links the Item to the Cost Update history.
- Event-Based: Driven by the
Cost Update Date, not the transaction date. - Comparison: Shows the New Cost vs. the Prior Cost (if available in the history tables).
- Context: Includes the “Update Description” (e.g., “2024 Annual Standard Cost Update”).
Technical Architecture
- Tables:
cst_standard_costs(History),cst_cost_updates(Header),cst_item_costs(Current). - Logic: Filters for records linked to a specific Cost Update ID or Date range.
Parameters
- Cost Update Date From/To: (Mandatory) The date the update program was run.
- From Cost Type: (Optional) The source cost type (e.g., Pending) used for the update.
Performance
- Variable: Depends on the number of items updated. A full annual roll might have 100,000 rows.
FAQ
Q: Does this show manual cost updates? A: If the manual update was done via the “Interface” or “Cost Update” screen, yes. If it was done via direct SQL (not recommended), it might not appear here.
Q: Why is the “Prior Cost” zero? A: If it’s a new item receiving its first standard cost, the prior cost is zero.
