# Product Costing

> A working costing cockpit for product and material economics.

A working costing cockpit for product and material economics: compare standard, weighted-average, and
FIFO methods, quantify COGS, inspect landed cost rollups, and test margin targets before taking action.

## Summary Cards

Weighted-average product cost, total COGS estimate, margin estimate, coverage, and anomaly count — a
shared starting point for procurement, finance, and plant teams before drilling into specific materials.

## Costing Method Selector

Switch between Standard, Weighted Average, and FIFO to see how the same material portfolio behaves
under different costing logic. This makes method sensitivity visible immediately — useful when
explaining why reported product cost changes depending on the accounting lens. Toggle methods before a
review meeting to show best-case, smoothed, and older-lot cost positions side by side.

## Breakdown Table + Margin Simulator

Sortable material-level unit cost, volume, total cost, variance from standard, and required selling
price at a target margin — the operational answer to "what does this product actually cost us, and what
do we need to charge?" Sort by total cost or variance to focus on the few materials that drive most
commercial exposure.

## Variance Chart + BOM Rollup Demo

The top absolute-variance materials, plus a simplified landed-cost rollup showing base cost, transport,
and variance — connecting finance-friendly costing methods to the physical raw → WIP → finished-goods
story in a way the business can understand quickly.
