Introduction
Document Purpose
This RapidSTART document provides a detailed description of the generic, core business processes supported by
the Oracle Applications Cost Management module.
The ‘Process Summary’ diagram details the high level tasks that can be performed within this module. Where
necessary, the frequently used tasks are diagrammed in more detail in the ‘Process Flow’ diagrams.
Finally, the textual ‘Process Steps’ section details how to perform the business process using Oracle Applications.
Reference numbers used in both the summary and detailed diagrams and in the process steps are common
throughout the document and provide a link between the 3 levels of detail.
This document is generic and represents ‘Core’ Oracle business processes. This document serves three purposes:-
For each business process, this document details how to verify the results of the process (either by a screen
inquiry or via a report) and also provides a link to a ‘Core’ functionality Acceptance Certificate that can be signed
when the process is tested successfully. When all appropriate Acceptance Certificates have been signed and no
major issues documented, the module’s implementation is deemed complete.
This document is intended that it satisfy 80% of the Customer’s testing requirements (excluding supporting
manual processes, destructive testing and security requirements).
The Summary and Process diagrams provide a numbered reference to the text that describes how to perform a
business process. In some cases (for more infrequently used processes), the text detail simply provides the
navigation path to the required form and a reference to the Oracle User Manual (if required). For ‘Core’ processes
the text describes the navigation path plus details on how to perform the task once the user enters the form.
Although, this document does not intend to replace Oracle User Guides, it can provide the experienced user with
a quick reference manual that can assist them in their day-to-day tasks.

You can define and update default material overhead subelements and rates. These defaults
speed data entry when defining items. When you define items, these material overheads are
defaulted into the
Frozen cost type under standard costing, and into the cost type you defined to hold average
rates under average costing. For buy items, enter material costs. For make items, roll up
costs.
Material Overhead sub-elements are assigned to Item Types (ATO Item, Finished
Goods Item, Purchased Item) or Categories.

For items where costs have not been defined for the cost type, the default cost type
is used as the next source of costs that the cost rollup and the inventory value
reports use for items not associated with the cost type being rolled up or reported

organization’s costing method, Frozen for standard costing; Average for average
