This is related to part cost-->Cost set 2- Estimated material cost.

I migrated few part numbers to the system. When check the cost,I see that cost set two is not updated.I did the same few months back, but I didn’t have this issue. What could be the reason? I used to migrate part numbers.I’m using IFS app 9.

Hi, 

The noted screens / attributes are typically used for manual entry / migrated values.  Additionally, we have a function to update the estimated material cost either a value change (old + adj) or based on other for example average purchase cost. 

The cost set 2 concept is a cost calculation that is based on that user entered / migrated value.   In other words, get a value into estimated material cost (attribute on the screen) run a cost calculation, then cost set 2 (in part cost) should have value. 

The noted attribute is a starting point, not the end point. Enter value, perform cost calculation, the then cost set 2 will have the appropriate value (assuming all was done correctly).   

Best regards, 

Thomas
