This is indeed an area where the (upcoming?) automated test tool would
be beneficial.
However the number should be correct: in fact the cost information for
fixed asset standard costing are still pulled from the FixedAssetStdCost
entity, where the following entries are stored:
<!-- Deprecated: in the future cost information will be stored in the
CostComponentCalc entity; these entries can then be associated to a work
effort thru the WorkEffortCostCalc entity. -->
<!-- This is the standard cost per hour needed to setup the fixed asset
for the task -->
<FixedAssetStdCost fixedAssetId="WORKCENTER_COST"
fixedAssetStdCostTypeId="SETUP_COST" fromDate="2005-12-31 00:01:00.0"
amountUomId="USD" amount="2"/>
<!-- This is the standard cost per hour for the usage of the fixed asset
to perform a given task -->
<FixedAssetStdCost fixedAssetId="WORKCENTER_COST"
fixedAssetStdCostTypeId="USAGE_COST" fromDate="2005-12-31 00:01:00.0"
amountUomId="USD" amount="8"/>
Since, according to the PROD_COST's routing definition, in order to
manufacture one unit of this product, the setup time for the asset is 10
minutes and the unit task time is 5 minutes, we have:
setup cost: 10 * (2 / 60) = 1/3
usage cost: 5 * (8 / 60) = 2/3
total routing cost is: 1$

Hi Jacopo et al.--
I'm playing with manufacturing again. I just ran a "Calculate costs"
from Catalog manager's costs tab for PROD_COST, and it came up with an
"estimated routing cost" of $1.00. Is this correct? It doesn't seem
right to me.
