Use this subtask to enter or view cost information for parts.
Use this subtask after creating parts and maintain it whenever you need to make additions or changes to part cost.
If you have the Bills of Material module, you can enter This Level costs for parent assembly parts on this subtask. You can then use the printed Costed BOM report to add the rolled up component and subassembly costs in the part's bills of material 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.
Use the drop-down list to choose the cost type for the part. Choose from the following options:
Reference — If you select this option, Costpoint calculates the total reference cost using the cost elements entered.
Standard — If you select this option, Costpoint calculates the total standard cost using the cost elements entered.
Last — If you select this option, this cost is updated automatically when you enter or create a purchase order. Last costs cannot be added or changed on this subtask.
You can modify the reference cost for a part at any time, but you can modify the standard cost only if the standard cost method is not in use, or if the standard cost method is in use but no inventory quantities exist for this part.
Enter, or click to select, the starting date of the cost row validity. For new rows with Cost type of Standard or Reference, initial value is the current date, otherwise this is blank.
Enter, or click to select, the ending date of the cost row validity. For new rows with Cost type of Standard or Reference, initial value is the current date, otherwise this is blank.
