Field help (CSTCOD)
It is necessary to choose the valuation method for the scenario:
none, management control (recommended), specific.
Remarks on the cost valuation by a scenario:
1. "Management control" method
The secondary choices available are:
standard price, revised standard price, budget.
The standard calculation for this module is the set up using the BOM descent option and the implicit update of the product-cost tables. This calculation occurs after the scenario validation (the data are created). Then there is a reactivation of the main parent product.
This maybe the time to calculate the base price (BASPRI field in the Product-sales ITMSALES table).
Display of the validation result:
The "Standard cost" tab displays the global results of the calculation. A grid displays the messages that belong to this calculation as well as any errors that occur.
Parent product table | The "Unitary cost" and "Total cost" fields are valued by the calculation results. | The "Base price" field of the ITMSALES file is displayed. |
Components table | The "Unitary cost" and "Total cost" fields are valued by the calculation results (including multi-level display). |
|
Routing table | No valuation is displayed on the routing operations. |
|
It is important to underline that the cost calculation uses the data from the site declared at the launch of the scenario and that it relies notably on the Product-Site and Product-Cost tables.
2. 'Specific’ mode case
The available secondary choices are :
base price, last price, formula evaluation (and not by 'Calculated by scenario').
In the case of "Base price" and "Last price", the following configurator variables are available:
CSTMAT (Material): This is the sum of the final components. According to the choice, the program takes the base price (BASPRI field in the Product-Sales file) or the last price (LASRCPPRI field (last price entered) in the Product-Site totals file).
CSTTOT: Sum of the variables shown above
In the case of an evaluation by formulas, the following are available:
CSTMAT (Material): Total coming from reading the BOM details. The available tables are the BOM detail (BOO) and the component product (ITM).
CSTLAB (Labor), CSTMAC (Machine) and CSTSCO (Sub-contractor): Sum arising from all the operations with the main work center, labor work center and structural sub-contractor work center. The tables available are the operations (ROO) and the work centers (MWS). The CSTMAC or CSTLAB valuation is made depending on the work center type.
CSTTOT: Sum of the variables shown above
In both cases, it is possible to VALUE the parent product fields with the help of the scenario setup (revision method).
Display of the validation result:
Parent product table | The 'Total cost' field is given by CSTTOT and the 'Unitary cost' by CSTTOT/ITMQTY. | The "Base price" field of the ITMSALES file is displayed. |
Components table | The "Unitary cost" is valued by the component cost and the "total cost" is the product of the "unitary cost" multiplied by the requirement. |
|
Routing table | The Cost fields are assigned only in "Calculation by scenario" mode. |
|
In the case of components created by the scenario, the prices will be those of the reference product.
