Implement Cost Management: the core setup, step by step.

This guide sets up the two engines that write your inventory accounting: receipt accounting and cost accounting, from cost organizations and profiles to the first reconciled period close. Six phases, every decision explained in finance language, with checks before moving on. Your progress saves in this browser.

What this guide covers, and what it deliberately does not
Covered here

Conditional: ask before you start

Not covered yet

Two required Oracle setup tasks this guide does not cover yet, costing key flexfields and cost-organization data access, plus the full receipt accounting setup phase and the accounting test library. These are the next revision, being verified against the current release now.

Your scope decisions turn conditional areas into required ones. Verify every task in your own instance and release; Oracle changes setup each quarter.
