Miscellaneous Cost - Actual

'Miscellaneous' costs are incurred against operations that are performed in 'miscellaneous' workcenters, or those workcenters with a number greater than 899.  These workcenters may be used in two ways: 

1 - If the routing step has a leadtime greater than zero, a Labor Requirements record will be generated for the operation and completed units may be recorded against it.  This type of operation is generally used to define an operation that is performed outside of the shop floor.  Actual miscellaneous cost is calculated as the quantity completed against the operation multiplied by the standard miscellaneous cost for the workcenter.  

2 - If the operation has a leadtime of zero, no Labor Requirement record is generated and no activity can be recorded against it.  This type of operation is used to add a user-defined cost to the production cost.  It is assumed that the miscellaneous cost has been incurred when the receipt of the completed parent part has been recorded.  It is calculated as quantity of parent received multiplied by standard miscellaneous cost for the parent.
