Calculate Cost for Single Part, All Levels

Explanation

Use this activity to calculate costs for a single part at all levels. 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.

Calculating part costs on all the levels means that costs for parts at underlying structures are considered as well as the costs for the selected part. When calculating the costs, the costs set up throughout the system are gathered and attributed to the correct part.

You can enter a specific version (alternative) for a part structure and routing. You can also define parts so that the calculation is stopped and costs are not rolled up. Component part costs will be updated only if the Struct.Alt. and the Rout.Alt fields are set to the default value; indicated by an asterisk(*)

This activity can be performed in the All Levels Part Cost Calculation, Part Cost and Part Costs windows.

If by-products exist, you can distribute the costs between by-products and the primary product. When calculating the product cost, if you use by-product cost distribution, the sum of the specified percentage of each by-product for this item is calculated. The remaining percentage will be calculated from the primary product.

If material overheads are defined in part overheads, material overheads are added to to the parent level in the cost structure. When material and general overheads are connected to a part, and the part cost record has a template which consists of a cost bucket that is connected to a cost element which uses cost element source 501 or 502, during cost calculations for a site or part or cost set, the system fetches cost using different overhead units as follows:

  3. In the Part No field, click List and select the part for which the calculation should be performed.
  4. In the Cost Set field, click List and select the cost set for which you want to perform the cost calculation.
  5. To copy structure alternates, click List in the Struct. Alt. field and select the alternative.
  6. To copy routine alternates, click List in the Struct. Alt. field and select the alternative.
  7. In the Stop Roll list, click either Not Stop Cost Rollup or Stop Cost Rollup.
  8. To specify the serial part for which the calculation should be performed, if serial numbers are used, click List in the Effective Serial No field and select the serial number.
