Can anyone clarify how does the Part Cost Group and the Override Template/Cost Set works and should be defined?

 

We have defined 4 Part Cost Groups: each contains manufactured and purchased parts. Is it ok?

If we want to use the M-110 Cost template for manufactured parts and P-130 (averaged) for purchased parts. Should we put that in the header part of the Part Cost Group or in the Override?

Should we have anything defined in the Override Template/Cost Set? When should this be used? Does it apply to all parts contained in that particular Part Cost Group? Why would you use the Override instead of changing the parameters in the header of the Part Cost Group?

 

We are using IFSAPP10.

Hi Clilouise,

Ideally, we Use this activity to override the default template assigned to the part cost group for a specific cost set. This optional task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

Override Default Cost Template for Cost Set allows you to use alternative cost templates for different cost sets. Multiple cost reiterations and alternative versions can then be calculated and viewed, including 'what-if' scenarios.

Override Default Cost Template for Cost Set can be performed from the Part Cost Group and Part Cost Group/Cost Set: windows.

As a result of this activity

  • The system defines the cost template which is to replace the default assigned to the part cost group.
  • Multiple cost reiterations and alternative versions can be calculated and viewed, e.g., 'what-if' scenarios.

Hope this helps.
