How to see disassembly operation cost in the cost structure of a produced part?

I have a purchased part (CC-PUR-KIT1) I need to disassemble into three components. This purchased part has a standard cost established in Cost Set 1 of $100 (using the standard template P-110 consisting of only cost bucket 110).

I have a buildable disassembly structure alternate consisting only of the following produced parts that are disassembly components (no components, no by-products) and Use Cost Distribution = YES.
PP1 - Op Cost Dist 30%, Gen OH Cost Dist 20%, Component Cost Dist 50%
PP2 - Op Cost Dist 50%, Gen OH Cost Dist 30%, Component Cost Dist 20%
PP3 - Op Cost Dist 20%, Gen OH Cost Dist 50%, Component Cost Dist 30%

I have a buildable disassembly routing that consists of only one operation running at 1 hour/unit (op qty factor = 100%) in a Work Center that has only direct cost of $200/hour in cost sets 1 and 2 (no overheads defined).

In my Site, I have added cost bucket 110 (EMC) to cost template D-110.

For Cost Template D-110, Use Cost Distribution = YES, Use Manufactured Costs = NO, Use External Acquired Costs = NO.

The purchased part CC-PUR-KIT1 has been enabled as the Base for Cost Calculation for each produced part.

I ran the Disassembly Cost Calculation for part CC-PUR-KIT1 in Cost Set 2.

Looking at the Part Costs in Cost Set 2 for the produced parts, each contains only cost bucket 110 (estimated material cost). There are no cost buckets for the operation costs; I expected to see cost bucket 300 included in the cost bucket detail of each produced part.

Why are the disassembly operation costs not included in the cost structure of the produced parts?

From the documentation:

  • A standard cost template D-110 is created when registering a new site. It is the default cost template for new inventory parts with part type Disassembled Component. This template has Use Cost Distribution set and contains the standard manufacturing cost buckets. If the estimated cost should be used, the cost template must contain a bucket for the estimated cost.
  • Typically, the disassembly parts will be purchased and therefore need an externally acquired cost bucket, e.g. 110. It is also important that the Cost Rollup Control flags Use External Acquired Costs is enabled and Use Manufacturing Costs is disabled.
  • In order to pick up the operation costs for disassembly, the manufacturing cost buckets need to be included. These will be used by the disassembly cost calculation if Use Manufacturing Costs is disabled.

Hi Matt,

I am looking at the last two bullets in your post above and my answer is that you should create this Cost Template for your purchased CORES you are going to Disassemble:

 

We have said in the past that it is the Cost Template connected to the Part Cost record that tells how cost calculations should behave. And it is the same with the CORES.

The machine and labor cost buckes above will be used in the disassembly cost calculation, but NOT when you calculate the cost for the CORE. Hope that makes sense.

One good news here Matt. In 25R1 and onwards you get this cost template CORE when you create your site(s). :-) In 24R2 you have to do it manually.

Cheers
-Mats

@majose what template configuration would I need if the CORE is a manufactured part?

Hello,

You should use the Manufacturing Cost Template, typically M-110, which does not consist of material cost bucket. In this case you first have rolled up cost to your manufactured part that you want to disassemble. In this “normal” cost rollup, the machine- and labor cost buckets on the template itself are used to capture the manufacturing routing operation cost. Cost from lower levels are rolled up as usual.

***
Then, in the Disassembly Cost Calculation, the total unit cost, per cost bucket, of the manufactured part, will distributed according to how the core is setup to distribute its cost to the disassembly components.

OMG - I see a place in the code where we just distribute the bucket LEVEL cost from the parent CORE to disassembly components . A bug :-( We need to fix this
