Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC Standard Cost Update Submissions
Executive Summary
The CAC Standard Cost Update Submissions report is an audit trail for the Standard Costing process. It tracks the execution of the “Update Standard Cost” program, providing a history of when costs were updated, who ran the update, and what the financial impact was.
Business Challenge
- Audit Compliance: Auditors need to see evidence that cost updates were authorized and executed correctly.
- Impact Analysis: “We took a $1M hit to inventory value last month. Which update caused it?”
- Troubleshooting: “Did we update the costs for the ‘Spare Parts’ category yet?”
Solution
This report queries the cost update history.
- Header Info: Update Date, Description, User.
- Scope: Shows which Item Range, Category, or Cost Type was used.
- Values: Shows the total Inventory Adjustment and WIP Adjustment values generated by the update.
Technical Architecture

cst_cost_updates,cst_cost_types. - Logic: The
cst_cost_updatestable stores the header information for every run of the Standard Cost Update program.
Parameters

Performance

FAQ
