Calculate Part Cost - Selected Parts
Explanation
Use this activity to calculate costs for several selected parts. Costs can
be calculated for one level or for all levels of the selected parts. You can
have the calculation stop at selected parts and not roll up their costs. This
means that the cost calculation does not continue further up the structure than
that part. The value can be one of the following:
- Not Stop Cost Rollup - The calculation will not stop at this
part level in the structure.
- Stop Cost Rollup - This will stop the cost calculation from going
any further up in the structure.
You can use the existing Cost Set Estimated Material Cost values in the calculation
or copy the inventory part Estimated Material Cost values to the Cost Set Estimated
Material Cost before performing the calculation.
Calculate Part Cost - Selected Parts will be disabled if part
with planning method K - Blow Through, T - Master Schedule
Blow Through Part or O - Level 0 Part is selected. This check
will reduce the performance if large amount of data is selected.
Note: You cannot perform a cost calculation for cost set 1. This optional
task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- More than one part cost record must be selected.
- The cost set for which you are performing the calculation must have
the costs defined.
- If by-product cost distribution is used, a structure with at least one
by-product must exist.
- Calculation of costs using by-product cost distribution will require
that the by-product cost distribution basic data has been entered for the
manufacturing structure using the Product Structure,
Recipe Structure, or Configuration
Structure page.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The costs for the selected parts are calculated and the results are
saved in the relevant cost set.
- Cost comparisons for a part can be calculated across different cost
sets. This allows you to determine the parts that should be transferred
into cost set 1 for the purposes of standard costing.
- If the by-product cost distribution is used, the cost will be determined
for the primary product by subtracting the costs distributed among the by-products,
otherwise, the costs of the by-products, if any, will be subtracted.
- If the Copy Estimated Material Cost from Inventory Part is
enabled, estimated material cost in inventory part will be taken
as the estimated material cost for the part for the cost set and will be
copied in to the Cost Set Estimated Material Cost field.
- If the Run in Background is enabled, the calculation
will run as a background job.
