Standard Cost Field, Stockkeeping Unit Table

Contains the unit cost that is used as standard cost for this SKU.

When the SKU is supplied through purchase, then this field is also used when invoicing and adjusting the actual cost of the purchased item.

Warning

If the SKU is supplied through production, then this field is not used when invoicing and adjusting the actual cost of the produced item. Instead, the Standard Cost field on the underlying item card is used, and any variances are calculated against the cost shares of that item. Because production BOMs and routing cannot be assigned to SKUs, then the unit cost roll-up and the related calculation of cost shares are also not available on SKUs.

Additional Information

If you selected Standard in the Costing Method field on the item card, then the contents of this field are used to fill the Unit Cost field on the SKU card. The only way that you can change the unit cost is to change the standard cost.

Note

You can change the standard cost on the item card, but this only affects new postings. If you want to change standard cost for entries that have already been posted, then you must use the revaluation journal.
