Template v7 January 30, Copyright © Infor. All Rights Reserved. Big Picture Aerospace &Defense (A&D) companies work in a project based environment A&D companies work with actual costing methods such as Moving Average Unit Cost (MAUC) for valuation of the items they make for customers Actual costing helps to better compare costs to budgets for profitability of a project Labor hours are tracked on projects and budgeted on projects. Each project that makes something will have its own MAUC or project MAUC (PMAUC) Projects tend to share inventory or transfer excess to other projects.

Template v7 January 30, Copyright © Infor. All Rights Reserved. Business Requirement A&D companies need the hours and the inventory value of an item. The hours need to move from the project that made the item to any project that ultimately gets the item (via transfer of project ownership). Hours are captured and stored for the items that are delivered to the end customer (a government agency) Pegged Items Need to capture hours (internal to the company) that made a pegged ite Do not need production subcontracting hours (these are external) Have the hours roll into another Bill of Material Level Non-Pegged Items When making non-pegged items, the hours need to be tracked Have the hours roll into another Bill of Material Level

Business Problem No production hours associated with an item’s value means, when an item is moved to another project, the new project : Applies incorrect overhead (total project costs are wrong) Bills customers incorrectly (customers get invoices based on bad information) Incorrectly track project progress based on hours correctly, leading to overruns and projects out of control Ultimately incorrect project profitability leads to incorrect company profitability
