  • 1.  Costed Bill of Material Projection

    Posted 09-02-2024 16:28

    Hello....customer uses Bill of Material and Production Entry.  They would like a report that would generate the costed bill of material but with a projected cost for various components.  They components are being negotiated with vendor, but they would like to know in advance the effect on the final cost of the item.  Any ideas besides an Excel spreadsheet

    What's the valuation method of the components?  If it's not Std, you could use the Std cost and print a costed bill using Std comp cost.

    The valuation method IS Standard for ALL components

    SHOT DOWN

    Save the current LAST COST, put the projected costs into Last, run the report, then put the Last back to what they were?

    Add a UDF to CI_Item,  and BM_CostedMaterialsWrk (sourced from CI_Item) then edit the Costed Bill Of Materials Report and do the math in Crystal? Seems like that would work. Use the projected cost in the UDF if it has a value or use the existing unit cost if it doesn't have a value.

    @David Overholt Thanks for all the ideas.  The customer has been copying the company, but then comparison is very tedious.  I like the idea of creating a UDF.  That way, the costed bill of materials report can have BOTH costs and they can see the variance in one report only... let me get to work on that!! thanks,

    You could make a copy of the live company and then import the projected costs to the Standard cost field in Item maintenance in the copy company.
