If a customer is not using standard cost, when a component is added to a bill of material, the cost is 0 unless one is manually entered, and after the component item is received into inventory and the cost is established, the cost on the bill of material is not updated.
Users will base price estimates on the bill of material and when the costs are not current on the bill, there is no way to look at a bill of material and view the current cost of the item. They must look at each component item and retrieve the cost, or create a bogus production order to capture current cost.
This would increase usability and customer satisfaction.
