Hey Community,

we set up standard calculation for purchase parts in a way that material costs are calculated based on average purchase price. Therefore, we set up a separate Cost Template, with separate Cost Bucket and an cost Element for Material Overhead (with rate for Material OVH).

With this setup, if we calculated the purchase part itself, only Material Costs are calculated. If we calculated the manufactured part where the purchase part is used (in structure), IFS included the Material ovh in the calculation of the manufactured part. That works fine for us.

Question is, we have also trading goods. For that kind of parts we set up separate Cost Template, with separate cost Buckets and Cost Element. Since that kind of parts are also purchase parts, settings are same like for purchase parts we use for manufacturing. Based on that, we never get an Material OVH calculated since that part are not used in manufacturing. But this is what we want for trading goods.

So, how to set up costing for trading goods parts so that IFS also calculated material OVH directly?

Regards

Sebastian

Hi, 

The material OH in the images, is applied in a shop order flow / manufacturing flow.  

Purchase parts commonly use a flavor of delivery overhead. Many options exist.  In keeping with the screen images, rather than material oh, you can try the Delivery OH (M57).   A difference will be that when a purchase part is received, you will have the purchase value + a M57 delivery OH postings.   

 

Best regards, 

Thomas

Hey Thomas,

thanks you very much this is exactly the setting I was searching for!

regards Sebastian

Documentation for other Community User, I create a new cost element with overhead type = delivery overhead, I create a new cost bucket with cost bucket cost type = delivery oh cost. I connect cost element with cost type and add the cost bucket to cost template. Afterwards I calculate the part and receive the overhead in part cost:
