Change Cost Set

Explanation

To change cost set for a top item and version, click Product, then Change Cost Set. You can do this when it is necessary to change cost set for an existing version or when a new version is created. New versions are based on the latest version id in the sequence.

If a part cost calculation for a specific cost set is applied when copy structure is the corresponding part cost calculation for the new cost set directly retrieved and applied. When you change the cost set, i.e. both material- and possible operation costs are updated. If no part cost, costs calculation is applied and possible operation costs are recalculated based on the new work center costs and labor rates related to the new cost set and the required date set for the item. Material costs are not influenced by the cost set. It is just the required date that determines the material unit cost.
