We have created a new cost set and setup identical to cost set 3 for Latest Purchase Price. The only changes I was intending to make is to have different labour rates between the cost sets for a comparison.

 

However, the newly created cost set appears to be posting a large value to ‘estimated material cost’ when a roll up is done, whereas the out of the box cost set 3 sends this value to ‘latest purchase price’ cost bucket.

 

Looking down the tree in our new cost set some of the components have costs against latest purchase price, but others are selecting estimated material cost despite the part having a calculated latest purchase price. How and why is this selection made?

Solved this having realised my own error. 

 

The cost templates in my new cost set were somehow misaligned and many were ‘estimated material cost’. Ran ‘replace cost template occurrences’ job to change these to ‘latest purchase price’ and then the cost roll up has worked.
