Documentation

Definition

Controls whether all selected product cost collectors are selected.

Use

• If this indicator is not selected, the system only costs the product cost collectors that meet the selection criteria and whose associated routing has been changed since the product cost collector was last costed.
• If this indicator is selected, the system costs all product cost collectors that meet the selection criteria.

Dependencies

There may be effects on performance.

If you are using flexible reporting points in repetitive manufacturing, it is strongly recommended that you cost product cost collectors whose routing has been changed.

For information on flexible reporting points, refer to the documentation Cost Object Controlling -> Product Cost by Period.
