Hi,

We are in the process of upgrading from IFS10 to IFS Cloud.

In the Upgrade scripts, we found a long running script in costing 2110.upg. This is caused by moving Cost set related data to the newly created cost set specific tables cost set 2 - cost set 11.

I could not find any documentation in the release notes about cost sets 6 - 11, except in 

which has a note on slide 4 → “Part Cost Bucket Performance”.

This is also mentioned in KB0069266 https://support.ifs.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=63f1ec64c3f99a1465365083e40131c3&table=kb_knowledge&searchTerm=part_cost_Bucket.

Question is:

1. What is the intention of IFS  for the usage of cost set 6 - 11?
2. In our solution we have defined our company specific cost set like 100, 200 and a view more. These cost sets contain > 100 millions of records. Therefore, we would like to make use of any performance gains possible.
   is there a possiblity to extend the concept of cost set 6 -11 further to the cost set numbers we are using in our solution?
3. How can we participate on the intended part cost bucket performance improvents introduced with cost sets 6 - 11?

Kind regards

Johannes
