Hi team, thanks for your hard work as always.

Following a customer inquiry, we have identified a product limitation related to cost allocation for co-products. Currently, while total cost allocations can be defined, the system does not support dynamic adjustments where specific inputs are allocated only to certain co-products based on varying input-output ratios.


Customer Expectation:

The customer requires the ability to:

  • Allocate costs dynamically based on specific inputs per co-product.
  • Handle scenarios where the ratio between co-products fluctuates (e.g., Product X sometimes has 10 times Product Y, and sometimes only 2 times).
  • Ensure that input materials are costed only against the co-products they are actually used for.

Current Limitation:

  • The standard cost allocation setup applies costs uniformly across co-products, without differentiating specific input materials used for each output.
  • No existing configuration allows for variable allocation based on changing production ratios.

Proposed Consideration:

Would it be feasible to enhance cost allocation functionality in future releases to support:

  1. Conditional input-based costing, where input materials are linked only to relevant co-products.
  2. Dynamic allocation rules, where the system can adjust costing automatically based on real-time production ratios.


Please advise on the feasibility of such an enhancement, or if there are any planned roadmap features that might address this requirement.

Thank you for your support.
