Assign Parent Part as Cost Base for Produced Part

Explanation

When a produced part do not have a fixed estimated cost, the cost can be set through cost distribution. This means the cost will be calculated based on the defined distribution factors on the parent part.

A produced part can originate from more than one parent, but only one parent can be the originator of cost for the produced part.

This activity is used to assign what part will be the parent part for the produced part cost calculation.

Prerequisites

• Part structure with produced parts, Disassembly, Co-Product or By-Product, must have been defined.
• The cost set for distributed cost should be available.

System Effects

• Cost base for the produced part is identified.
