A configurable sheet per item: material, labour, overhead and the lines you add yourself. It reads the bill of materials rather than asking you to retype it.
Cost the product from the structure that already exists, and freeze the answer when it matters.

Every child cost times its raw quantity, summed up the tree. The item's own value shows as the variance, so you can see what the assembly adds on top of its parts.
In the APICost the material you consume, not the material that ends up in the product. Wastage is applied per line, where the loss actually happens.
Apply markup at the level you sell at and read the margin against the rolled-up cost underneath it.
Carry a cost from ex-works through freight, duty and the rest to a landed figure, with every step visible instead of buried in one adjusted number.
Hold each cost in the currency it was quoted in and convert at read time. The quote keeps its original figure; the sheet still totals.
Freeze a costing into a labelled snapshot and compare snapshots against each other. Answering "what did this cost us in March" stops being an archaeology exercise.
