- Cost Price
- The new Input Costs are taken from the Cost Prices of the components as shown on the 'Costs' cards of their records in the Item register.
- FIFO Price
- The new costs are calculated using the average FIFO value of the component Items currently in stock. If this option is used, any Plain Items used as components in Recipes will have their Input Cost set to zero. This will also be the case for any Stocked Items of which there is no stock.
- If the Recipe has one Out Item
- Use these options to specify whether you would like the cost of the output Item (as shown in the Recipe) to be updated to reflect the changes made to the costs of the input Items. These options will only affect Recipes with a single output row: if there are several output Items, you should update them manually so that the costs can be apportioned correctly.
