Select the Routings subtask to view all routing lines for the selected part in the main screen. When you enter this screen, the table window will not be populated. If the part's Primary Routing checkbox is selected in the Maintain Routings screen in Costpoint Routings, the primary routing number will display, and the Load Routing pushbutton will be enabled. You can also Lookup to select another routing for the selected part. Select the Load Routing pushbutton to populate the table window with the part's selected routing information. The remaining fields in this screen are non-editable. This subtask is disabled if the selected component part row is a provisional part.
Select the Load Routing pushbutton to populate the table window with the part's routing information. If a routing line has a Step Type of "P" (capacity planning) or the Alternate Operation is greater than zero in the Maintain Routings screen, the line will not display in this table window, and such lines will not be included when calculating costs. Rows are sorted in this table window by Op Seq number and Step number.
Costs are calculated based on whether the routing operation is "L" (Labor) or "S" (Subcontract). For each labor routing line, the labor cost calculation will depend on the line’s Rate Source, Run Type, Setup/Run Rates, and Standard Setup/Run Hours.
This field displays the operation number of the routing step for the part. Each routing line requires an operation; this number must be greater than zero.
This field displays the routing step number. This number must be greater than zero.
This field displays the code of the labor or subcontractor operation being performed on this routing step. You established operation information in the Maintain Labor Operations or Maintain Subcontractor Operations screens in Costpoint Routings.
This field displays the operation type code assigned to the Operation in the Maintain Labor Operations or Maintain Subcontractor Operations screens. You established operation types in the Costpoint Routings Controls menu.
Costs are calculated based on whether the routing operation is an internal labor operation ("L" for an internal operation) that was established in the Maintain Labor Operations screen, or a subcontract operation ("S" for an external vendor operation) that was established in the Maintain Subcontractor Operations screen. For each Labor routing line, the labor cost calculation will depend on the line’s Rate Source, Run Type, Setup Rate, Run Rate, and Standard Setup/Run Hours. For each Subcontract routing line, the subcontract cost calculation will depend on the line's Standard Unit Cost and Standard Fixed Cost.
This field displays the description of the operation.
This field displays the type of routing step: "S" (Standard) or "C" (Cost Only). Routing lines with a Step Type of "P" (capacity Planning) will not display in this table window.
This field displays the default work center ID for the operation. Use the Maintain Work Centers screen to access work center information. This field will be populated only for labor operations. Work Centers to not apply to subcontractor operations.
This field displays the default value ("V" (Variable) or "F" (Fixed)) that determines how run hours and costs are calculated.
This field displays the unit run hours from the table window in the Maintain Routings screen (unit run hours also display in the Std Hours (Run Rate) field in the Cost subtask of the Maintain Routings screen for labor operations).
This field displays the setup hours from the Leadtime/Capacity subtask of the Maintain Routings screen (setup hours also display in the Std Hours (Setup Rate) field in the Cost subtask of the Maintain Routings screen for labor operations).
The Rate Source (from the Cost subtask of the Maintain Routings screen) determines the Hourly Run Rate and Hourly Setup Rate that will be used for the labor cost calculations. These fields will display as zero for subcontractor operations. Below is a list of conditions for both rate calculations:
If the Rate Source is "Work Center," Current Work Center Run and Setup rates will be used for the work center ID on the routing line. If multiple rows exist in the Maintain Work Centers screen in Costpoint Routings (where the rates can be changed), the row with the latest effective date that is that is the same as the current date or earlier is used.
If the Rate Source is "Operation, " Current Operation Run and Setup rates will be used for the operation ID on the routing line. If multiple rows exist in the Maintain Labor Operations screen in Costpoint Routings (where the rates can be changed), the row with the latest effective date that is the same as the current date or earlier is used.
If the Rate Source is "Override," Override Run and Setup rates will be used on the routing line. You can change the override rate directly in the Cost subtask of the Maintain Routings screen.
For Labor Operations:
The routing line's Run Type (in the main screen in Maintain Routings) determines whether the run costs are to be considered Unit or Fixed Costs.
If the Run Type is "V" (Variable), the system calculates the labor cost on a per unit basis and displays it in the Unit Cost column. If the Run Type is "F" (Fixed), labor cost is stored with the setup costs in the Fixed Cost column.
In sum, when the Run Type is "V" (Variable), the Unit Cost is calculated as Hourly Run Rate * Run Hours, and the Fixed Cost is calculated as Hourly Setup Rate * Setup Hours.
When the Run Type is "F" (Fixed), the Unit Cost is "0," and the Fixed Cost is calculated as (Hourly Run Rate * Run Hours) + (Hourly Setup Rate * Setup Hours).
For Subcontract Operations:
The Rate Source (from the Cost subtask of the Maintain Routings screen) determines the standard Unit Cost, standard Fixed Cost, and burden rate that will be used for the subcontractor cost calculations of the routing line operation.
If the Rate Source is "Operation," the Std Unit Cost, Std Fixed Cost and Burden Rate under the Current Operation column (of the Cost subtask of the Maintain Routings screen) will be used for the routing line's operation. If multiple rows exist in the Costs subtask of the Maintain Subcontractor Operations screen in Costpoint Routings (where the rates can be changed), the row with the latest effective date that the same as the current date or earlier is used.
If the Rate Source is "Override," the Std Unit Cost, Std Fixed Cost, and Burden Rate under the Override column (in the Cost subtask of the Maintain Routings screen) will be used for the routing line's operation.
The system calculates the value in this field as follows: ((Unit Cost * Part Breakpoint Quantity) + Fixed Cost).
The system calculates the total labor costs by adding all Operation Cost for Breakpoint Quantity amounts for labor operation lines (where the Labor/Subcontractor field is "L").
The system calculates the total subcontractor costs by adding all Operation Cost for Breakpoint Quantity amounts for subcontractor operation lines (where the Labor/Subcontractor field is "S").
Once the table window is loaded with the correct routing information, select this pushbutton to load the cost information into a new row in the Proposal Item Costs subtask. You will receive a warning message asking whether you would like to populate the Proposal Item Costs subtask with this routing information (for new lines) or, if the row already exists in the Proposal Item Costs subtask, you can load and override the existing routing information.
In the Proposal Item Costs table window, routing cost information will load with a Cost Source Type of "RU," a Cost Source Description of "Routing," and the primary routing number will appear in the Cost Source ID column. The routing's Part Breakpoint Quantity will populate the Minimum Quantity column in the Proposal Item Costs table window for the routing line. Additionally, the routing's Total Labor Costs and Total Subcontractor Costs default into the This Level Labor Unit Cost and This Level Subcontractor Unit Cost fields, respectively. As with any Cost Source Type row that is loaded, you must run the Compute Proposal Item Costs application to calculate and roll-up all applicable proposal costs.
