A job order costing system would be more appropriate than a process costing system for manufacturers who use different types of goods throughout the manufacturing process. Process costing is best to you when manufacturing a large amount of the same items.

Cost accumulation is simpler in a process costing system because it tracks costs over continuous production processes rather than individual jobs. In process costing, costs are averaged over large quantities of identical products, making it easier to assign costs uniformly. In contrast, job-order costing requires detailed tracking of costs for each specific job, which can be complex due to variations in materials, labor, and overhead for different jobs. This streamlined approach in process costing reduces the administrative burden and simplifies cost calculations.
Over costing and under costing occurs because overhead cost is applied first using some ratio to find out the cost of product before the process of production done and actual cost found.
Standard costing is process of determining the standard price require to produce one unit of product while actual costing system uses the actual prices of manufacturing one unit of product.

Job order costing is more appropriate than process costing when the product being produced is a custom product

a costing system that does not divide cost by function or allocation or een by each part of the manufacturing process. it takes a total cost and divides it by each part of the process. so essentially each part of the manufacturing process is assigned an equal estimated cost.
Over costing and under costing occurs because overhead cost is applied first using some ratio to find out the cost of product before the process of production done and actual cost found.
