The system calculates the Periodic Costing value for WO operation labor and burden using the rates defined in Periodic Costing work center rates and the time tracked with the operation history transactions. The system summarizes these WIP calculations by WO lot, WO operation, WO department, WO work center, and machine. The PCLABORT transaction type stores the summarized Periodic Costing calculated rates and the standard reversed costs. When only one operation history record exists for the WO lot, WO operation, WO department, or WO work center; then, the system does not create a summarized record. The system adds the value as WIP for the work order.

These operation history types do not track labor and burden:

On occasion, you may need to adjust the cost calculated for a WO, operation, and cost element. You do this using WO Operation Adjustment (30.5.5.14) and the system stores the adjustment value as the PCWOP-AD operation history type. The valid cost elements for this function are labor, burden, and subcontracting. The system picks up these additional costs during this calculation, stores them on the work order routing period balance, and does not include them in the summarized PCLABORT transaction.
