Document Summary

A cost accounting system collects costs and assigns them to products and services. It is critical that managers know now much it actually costs to make a product or deliver a service in order to determine how to price it. When a manufacturer customizes a product for a particular customer it is generally done on a job order production process. This is opposed to mass production or assembly line production where products are homogeneous and generally not distinguishable until the final process (i. e. cars are mass produced and the final step is usually the color). First step is to estimate the costs to complete the job. Next you negotiate a sale price to the customer. Third is scheduling the manufacturer of the product. Finally the manufacturer will place its own orders for raw materials and supplies if needed. This is a separate record maintained for each job.
