Cost drivers catalog

<< Prev   Next >>

A cost driver is the unit of a production activity that affects the activity's cost. Each consumed cost driver unit causes the cost to change by the amount determined by a related manufacturing overheads rate.

For example, if your cost driver is labor hours and your manufacturing overheads rate is $100, each consumed labor hour increases the manufacturing cost by $100.

Examples of cost drivers are:

• Labor hours
• Machine hours
• Volume of output

In 1C:Drive, cost drivers are involved in the production processes. They can be used to assign the following:

• A predetermined overhead rate for manufacturing operations.
• A unit of measure for both standard and actual workloads of manufacturing operations.

1. Go to Production.
