Use this page to view and modify distribution of component material costs among by-products and primary product for the structure alternate. The costs of each material component line in a manufacturing structure can be allocated to the by-products using the factors entered for each by-product/component combination.
The Item Cost Distribution Factor is the only field that can be updated. Each individual item cost distribution factor must be between 0 and 1. The total item cost distribution for all by-products for each component can not be greater than 1. This factor is used as a means of distributing component costs between by-products and primary product.
These values are used by the cost calculations. Also, as with other structure alternate information, the factor information is copied when creating shop orders.
By-products must have been definied for a structure.
