Abstract

A method and system for integrating cost when an order is changed and the order is currently in production using a flexible order transaction system involving the detailed mapping of the costs to the yield and scrap that are transferred as a result of the change in the order. The transfer from the original order to the new order occurs at several mapped reporting points as a result of the order change.
