Dale,

Yes, I did get some insight from Dave Turbide. He sent me a tip that put 
me in the right direction!

Thanks for asking.

James, 


Did you get an answer?   We had a fairly complex overhead calculation 
scheme, which varied depending on work center.  Fortunately, XA handles 
that nicely, with an overhead rate/percentage in the work center file, and 
a code that lets you select how you calculate the overhead.  It worked OK 
for us, although we had to take the output and run it through some 
additional accounting processing to get the desired numbers (you know, the 
usual... phase of the moon, alignment of Jupiter and Mars, etc).  
Seriously, what they give you in the WRKCTR file is usually sufficient.  
We had a union shop, so our rates were always fixed, which made it nice.

Overhead is significantly higher that labor & setup combined.
