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.

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 by-product cost distribution is used, a structure with at least one by-product must exist.
• Calculation of costs using by-product cost distribution will require that the by-product cost distribution basic data has been entered for the manufacturing structure using the Product Structure, Recipe Structure, or Configuration Structure window.

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 check box is selected, 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 check box is selected, the calculation will run as a background job.

Procedure

1. Populate or query for the required records in the Part Costs window.
2. Select the records for which you wish to do the calculation.
3. Right-click, point to Cost Calculations and then click Calculate Part Cost - Selected Parts.
4. On the dialog box that appears, select whether the calculation must be done for one level or for all levels of a part.
5. On the Stop Cost Roll list, select Stop Cost Rollup to stop the cost calculation from going any further up in the structure.
6. Enter a date in the Effective Date field. The structure and routings valid for this date will be used for the calculation.
7. Select the Copy Estimated Material Cost from Inventory Part check box to copy the estimated material cost to the Cost Set Estimated Material Cost field.
8. Select the Run in Background check box to run the calculation as a background job.
9. Click OK.
