At this point because of project batch order Posting method = Finished you can review Project committed costs related to finished product as well as Co-products (Co-products and By-products). Please note that all committed costs transactions are closed. After ending project production order the system reversed and closed finished product related committed cost transaction
Project – Committed costs
You can do extended project cost control analysis using Cost control screen
Project – Cost control
The system reversed committed cost transaction and posted real item project transaction representing finished product consumed into the project
Project transactions
Please see details of project transactions below

Appendix A: Co-products
Please see different scenarios for cost allocation for co-products described below. For the sake of clarity in these scenarios only co-product (and no by-product) is the secondary outcome for production process.
Scenarios
<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Cost allocation = None
In this scenario the system doesn’t do any cost allocation for co-products
Formula: AlexTire – Co-Products
Please note that Cost allocation = None for Co-Slag co-product. This means that the system will not allocate cost onto Co-Slag co-product
Estimate
Inventory transactions
Project – Committed cost
Project – Cost control
End
Inventory transactions
Project – Committed cost
Project – Cost control
Project transactions
<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>Cost allocation = Manual
In this scenario the system will do cost allocation for co-products in accordance with Cost allocation percent specified manually
Formula: AlexTire – Co-Products
Please note that Cost allocation = Manual and Cost allocation percent = 50% for Co-Slag co-product. This means that the system will evenly (50%/50%) allocate cost onto Co-Slag co-product and Car tire (AlexTire) product based on total production cost
Estimate
Inventory transactions
Project – Committed cost
Project – Cost control
End
Inventory transactions
Project – Committed cost
Project – Cost control
Project transactions
<![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]>Cost allocation = TCA (Total cost allocation)
In this scenario the system will do cost allocation for co-products in accordance with TCA (Total cost allocation) principle
Formula: AlexTire
Please note that Total cost allocation checkbox is selected for the formula to enable TCA (Total cost allocation) for co-products
Formula: AlexTire – Co-Products (Estimate cost)
Based on TCA (Total cost allocation) principle the system calculates the cost as a weighted average between the quantities that are reported as finished for product and co-products. On Estimate cost screen you can calculate Cost allocation percentages for co-products using Allocate cost percentages function.
Formula: AlexTire – Co-Products
As the result Cost allocation percentages will be calculated for co-products. In this scenario Cost allocation percentage = 0.1332%
Estimate

Appendix B: By-products
Please see different scenarios for burden cost for by-products described below. For the sake of clarity in these scenarios only by-product (and no co-product) is the secondary outcome for production process.
Scenarios
<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Burden = None
In this scenario the system doesn’t add burden cost related to by-products to total production cost
Formula: AlexTire – Co-Products
Please note that Burden = None for By-Slag by-product. This means that the system will not add burden cost related to By-Slag by-product to total production cost
Estimate
Inventory transactions

Summary: This document describes a primer of project manufacturing approach to Car tire production in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. The scenario operates with single level formula with co/by-products. Batch order is a main document in process approach which controls manufacturing process and provides a context for cost accounting. However in project manufacturing scenario the project itself provides cost context as well as extended committed costs and cost control capabilities. In this scenario I highlighted all aspects of manufacturing process including setup, creation, estimation, scheduling, execution and costing. Most importantly I’m giving a detailed practical example of how to implement typical manufacturing scenario using process approach in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. This provides a foundation for comparison between traditional approach and process approach in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Please review other documents in the series to compare traditional manufacturing approach with other manufacturing approaches in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Please note that this solution is a prototype which showcases flexibility of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 platform.
