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.
For more information about cost calculation, see Cost Calculation.
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 co-/by-product cost distribution is used, a structure with at least one co-/by-product must exist.
- Calculation of costs using the co-/by-product cost distribution will require that the 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.
