Costs

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to enter or view cost information for parts.

When should I use this screen?

Use this screen after creating parts and maintain it whenever you need to make additions or changes to part cost.

If you have the Costpoint Bill of Materials module, you can enter "this level" costs for parent assembly parts in this screen. The printed Costed BOM report can then be used to add the rolled up component and subassembly costs in the part’s bill of materials to the "this level costs" to determine the total cost of the assembly. This report can optionally update the total standard and reference costs displayed here.
