Product Cost Schedule Line Layout (PCS)

The Product Cost Schedule (PROD_CST_SCH) table stores information used to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold.

You cannot process Product Cost Schedule Line Types unless information from the Item, Item Product and Product Price Catalog tables (or input files for new records) exists.

This Line Type is required if the Cost of Sales Calculation Code is C (Cost Schedule). Otherwise, the record is rejected.

The table can have multiple Product Cost Schedule rows per Item/Catalog, but all quantities (.0001 - 9999999999.9999) must be accounted for in the provided date range. Quantities must not interfere with existing rows.

There cannot be any gaps in the date range, and each new date range must not overlap any existing rows. Each new row must have a start date one day later than the latest end date (or less than all existing start dates).

The Unit Cost Amount can be updated if values exist in the From Quantity, To Quantity, Start Date, and End Date fields.

If the From Quantity, To Quantity, and End Date values exist, the program updates the existing From Quantity, To Quantity, and End Date values by changing the current End Date value to one day before the provided Start Date.

For example, if a row currently exists with the following values:

FROM_QTY TO_QTY START_DT END_DT UNIT_PRICE_AMT
.0001 9999999999.9999 01/01/2002 12/31/2004 516.97

A line is encountered in the input file with the following values:

FROM_QTY TO_QTY START_DT END_DT UNIT_PRICE_AMT
.0001 9999999999.9999 04/01/2002 12/31/2004 549.16

The End Date of the existing row will be modified and a new row will be inserted.  The two rows will contain the following values:

FROM_QTY TO_QTY START_DT END_DT UNIT_PRICE_AMT
.0001 9999999999.9999 01/01/2002 03/31/2002 516.97
.0001 9999999999.9999 04/01/2002 12/31/2004 549.16

You can view or update the information stored in this table on the Cost Information subtask of the Manage Product Price Catalogs screen in Costpoint Product Definition.

Note: The application uses default values for INSERTS ONLY if the input file field value is not provided. The exception is MODIFIED_BY, which will be updated using the default value if no value is provided.
