Define Cost Parameters
Explanation
Use this function to update system generated cost parameters which are used in different cost calculations.
Please note that the cost parameters are defined per site.
The following provides detailed information on specific parameters that impact the performance of cost
calculation and copy cost set jobs.
- When executing a cost calculation or copy cost set job for all parts on the site, the system checks the
number of records in the PartCostBucket table for all parts on the given site per cost set. If that number
exceeds PCB_INDEX_REBUILD_LIMIT parameter value, then the indexes are dropped and recreated
for better performance. In a 7/24 environment, the default value of PCB_INDEX_REBUILD_LIMIT, set
as 200 000 can be increased, to prevent a decline in query performance during the execution of costing jobs.
- If the cost source functionality is not used, then it is recommended to set
CAPTURE_COST_SOURCES parameter to No. Then the performance of Copy
Costs to Cost Set One job will improve.
- For sites with few or no configurable parts, setting the INCLUDE_CONFIGURABLE parameter to
Yes, will increase the performance of Copy Costs to Cost Set One job
because the system takes a more efficient route in its logic when the setting is set to
Yes.
- To minimize the calculation time in Kaizen Costing, set the ROI_PERIOD_LIMIT parameter as
low as possible; however, it must be higher than the value for ROI_PERIOD.
