Suggest Item Standard Cost Batch Job
Creates suggestions for changing the costs and cost shares of standard costs on item cards. When the batch job has completed, you can see the result in the Standard Cost Worksheet window.
Note
This batch job is intended for purchased items only. If you want to update an item with a production BOM or assembly BOM, then you must first fill in the worksheet with all the components and then run the Roll Up Standard Cost batch job.

If you are satisfied with the suggestions and want to implement them, that is update them on the item cards and insert them in the Revaluation Journal, then click Implement Standard Cost Changes in the Standard Cost Worksheet window.
