Select this to perform the recalculation according to the options you selected. The results are displayed in a listview.

Material allocations to a job are valued at either the Bill of Materials cost or the current inventory unit cost depending on your selection at the Transfer from Bill of Materials option (Work in Progress Setup). If the allocation is for a Bulk Issue item, then the material allocation is always valued to the job at the current inventory unit cost. It the material allocation is for an old revision/release of an ECC controlled item, and you selected to value material allocations at the Bill of Materials cost, then the historical revision/release costs are used in the calculation.

If costs are being recalculated for a master job, then the program recalculates the expected costs for all the sub-jobs and rolls the costs up to the master job. Therefore, the expected costs of the sub-jobs are also updated if you selected to update the costs. If a master job falls within a range of jobs selected, then the expected costs for the sub-jobs of that master job are also recalculated and updated even if the sub-job falls outside of the range of jobs selected. If a sub-job was created for an allocation and the allocation is set to complete, then only the value issued to the allocation to date is used when calculating the expected costs for the master job. This means that the recalculation does not drop through to the sub-job if the allocation for the sub-job on the master job is set to complete. Expected costs for sub-jobs are only processed if they are part of a master job chain. This means that if the sub-job falls within of the range of jobs selected for processing, but its master job does not, then the sub-job is not recalculated.

Form values and defaults are applied at operator level. They are not saved at role or group level.

Whilst the program can be run for a range of confirmed and unconfirmed jobs, the original costs can only be updated for unconfirmed jobs.

Select this to update the original expected labor and material costs against the job header for jobs that have not yet been confirmed (Job Entry).

This option is only enabled if you selected the option: Update current expected costs on job header.

Select this to update the expected costs against associated hierarchies of hierarchical jobs.

The Expected Job Cost Recalculation program will not update expected costs against hierarchies if the billing method (Browse on Contracts) is set to any of the following and costs have already been billed against a contract: Percentage of head/section complete Percentage of anticipated costs Percentage of costs accumulated If a schedule has already been billed, then the costs for a hierarchy cannot be rolled up as this would cause inconsistencies. While percentages for future schedules may be accurately calculated, previous schedules billed will no longer be accurate.

This option is only enabled if you selected the option: Update current expected costs on job header.

The unit cost is only updated if a valid sales order number is defined against the job, the job is not confirmed and the item is non-stocked.

These options are displayed within programs that can be automated. They enable you to indicate the action you want to perform once processing is complete (see Automation Design).
