Using PeopleSoft Cost Management Functionality to Cost Items Within PeopleSoft Engineering

You can apply all PeopleSoft Cost Management data and processes to calculate the cost of items within PeopleSoft Engineering. These include:

• Using any PeopleSoft Cost Management cost foundation data such as cost types, elements, groups, conversion codes, and conversion overhead codes when determining engineering BOM costs.

• Defining engineering cost versions.

• Defining conversion rates and conversion overhead rates for engineering cost versions.

• Maintaining forecasted and additional item costs that are specific to an engineering cost version.

• Copying cost structures, as well as item costs and rates, between non-engineering and engineering cost versions.

• Rolling up engineering cost versions.

• Viewing item costs generated for engineering versions and comparing regular and engineering cost versions.

• Viewing costed engineering BOMs.
