Define Cost Distribution for Structure Alternate
Explanation
This activity is used to define the cost distribution factors used to distribute costs of components, operations
and general OH between the main product, co-products, by-products and disassembly components produced in the same
process.
To define the cost distribution for a product or configuration structure:
- Open the Produced Parts tab and enter the required value for each co-product,
by-product and disassembly component line in the Gen OH Cost Distribution Factor and
Opereration Cost Distribution Factor fields.
- Open the Component Cost Distribution tab and enter the required value for each
combination of produced part and component part in the Cost Distribution Factor field.
To define the cost distribution for a recipe structure:
- Open the By-Products tab and enter the required value for each by-product line in
the Gen OH Cost Distribution Factor and Operation Cost Distribution Factor
fields.
- Open the By-Products Cost Distribution tab and enter the required value for each
combination of by-product and component part in the Cost Distribution Factor field.
Note: If cost distributions factors should be a part of cost calculations, Use Cost
Distribution must be enabled for the structure alternate.
Prerequisites
- A structure alternate with co-products, by-products and/or disassembly components must exist.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, cost distribution factors are defined for the produced parts on a structure
alternate.
