I have created a costing sheet and setup a line for output unit cost. I ran a cost calculation and the indirect cost (output unit cost) was part of the calculation. I created a batch order, posted the pick list journal, and ended the batch order. The indirect costs are not part of the calculation and created a variance for the missing cost. What did I miss with the setup?

Hi Michael,
We faced a similar situation while helping a retail customer in Dynamics 365 F and O. The costing sheet showed the indirect cost during calculation, but it didn’t flow into the batch order. In that case, the issue was simply a missing link between the cost group and the active costing version.
A few quick checks that usually fix it:
• Make sure the indirect cost node in the costing sheet is tied to a cost group that’s active in the costing version the item is using.
• Confirm the costing version used for the calculation is the same one assigned to the item and batch order.
• Check that the cost category on the route or resource matches the cost group in your costing sheet.
• After any update, run the cost calculation again and activate the version before creating or ending the batch order.
Once we did this for our customer, the indirect cost started appearing correctly.
If it still doesn’t sort out on your side, we can schedule a quick, free knowledge-sharing call to walk through it together.
