Introduction

Cost price calculation scenarios are used to enable unique cost calculations for each end product. The scenarios will also offer overviews of the actual costs of these end products by taking into consideration specific cost factors. When there are changes in the cost price in any level of the bill of materials (BOM), the cost price will be updated all the way to the end product. You are able to specify the BOM level you want to include, sales margin, type of purchase price for purchased components (Cost price, Purchase price (Main supplier), Sales price) and the type of cost price for manufactured components (Cost price, Calculated cost price (Main version), Sales price). Updated cost price calculations can be exported to Microsoft Excel and stored as a document for reference and audit purposes.
