Manufacturing workcenter costs now use the intended hourly employee cost from the workcenter setup instead of being overwritten by an employee-specific rate. This helps keep inventory valuations using average cost and FIFO methods accurate.

The workcenter employee cost per hour
was always being replaced by the employee's
individual cost per hour, impacting the
valuation of AVCO and FIFO.

To fix this, if the employee's cost
per hour is set in the employee form
and is greater than zero, we will use
the value defined in the workcenter form.
