You might want to create different cost sheet types to represent different costing and sourcing methods. For example, if your woven products are produced using CMT methods, and your knits are produced using FOB methods, you can have different types of cost sheets to represent these two groups so you can monitor different information for each method. You might refer to these types as CMT and FOB, or perhaps wovens and knits. You can even break them down by product type if the variation in costing is different at that level.

If you are a designer or a retailer, or both, your cost sheet might also vary, and you might want to have multiple types to represent how you cost products (often called “direct” or “indirect”).
