You must periodically update the standard costs of components and roll the new costs up to the parent item. The process typically consists of the following four steps:

Update costs at the component and capacity levels. For more information, see Suggest Item Standard Cost.
Consolidate and roll up the component and capacity costs to calculate the total manufacturing or assembly cost of the items. For more information, see Roll Up Standard Cost.
Implement the standard costs that are entered when you run the previous batch jobs. The standard costs do not take effect until they are implemented. For more information, see Implement Standard Cost Change.
Implement the changes to update the Unit Cost field on the item card and perform inventory revaluation. For more information, see Revaluation Journal.

For more information, see About Calculating Standard Cost.

After you understand the process, you can use the following summary of steps.
