How do you allocate vendor bills to an item's standard cost?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:31PM in Ask A Guru 3 comments

Hi There

I have been searching Suiteanswers though cannot find the right one.

The scenario I have is:

There is an inventory item that is manufactured at times and purchased from a third party at other times.

The item uses standard costing to measure its inventory cost.

I want the standard cost to be adjusted to add overheads such as inventory transport costs.


Is that possible?

That is:

  1. in the MRP module in Netsuite, is there a way for standard cost to be auto calculated so that it is revised to incorporate actual overhead costs?
  2. Even if auto calculation isn't an option, is there a way in Netsuite to build a costing model for inventory items so that you can define which costs go towards creating a standard cost?

Howdy, Stranger!
