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.
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.
