A full cost rollup first performs a bill of material explosion for assemblies. The rollup process builds the cost of assemblies, starting with the lowest level, and works up the structure to top level assemblies. This method gives you the most current bill of material structure and component costs.
Suggestion: Verify the bill structure before performing a cost rollup to ensure that there are no loops in the bill. See: Checking for Bill Loops.
A single-level rollup only looks at the first level of the bill structure for each assembly in the rollup, and rolls the costs for the items at this level into the parent. This method does not reflect structure or cost changes that have occurred at a level below the first level of your assemblies.
Note: The cost rollup includes the material costs but not the routing costs of phantom assemblies in the cost of higher level assemblies.
Use a single level rollup to assign new standard costs to the top assembly, but not to the lower-level assemblies. A single level rollup allows you to generate costs on new assemblies without changing costs on existing subassemblies.
Part of the cost rollup process includes the option to print a report. If you choose to print a report, you can select either the Consolidated Bills of Material Cost Report or the Indented Bills of Material Cost Report. Both of these reports can also be submitted when reporting item costs.
Attention: To use either of the Cost Rollup options where costs are committed to the database, the Privilege to Maintain Cost security function must be included as part of the responsibility.
Note: By leaving the Privilege to View Cost security function as part of a user's responsibility, but excluding the Privilege to Maintain Cost function, you can allow the user to print reports but not change any stored costs. See: Cost Management Security Functions.
Note: Inactive items are not rolled up unless you enter a Specific Item that is inactive.
