Setting Up Cost Type Percentages

Access the Cost Type Percentages Revisions form.

Cost Type

Enter a code that designates each element of cost for an item. Examples of the cost object types are:

A1: Purchased raw material

B1: Direct labor routing rollup

B2: Setup labor routing rollup

C1: Variable burden routing rollup

C2: Fixed burden routing rollup

Dx: Outside operation routing rollup

Xx: Extra add-ons, such as electricity and water

The optional add-on computations usually operate with the type Xx extra add-ons. This cost structure enables you to use an unlimited number of cost components to calculate alternative cost rollups. The system then associates these cost components with one of six user-defined summary cost buckets.

The work order connects the cost type to the coverage group.

Percentage Covered

Enter the percentage covered under warranty or contract. This is used to calculate the amount to bill or the amount to cost for the line item being processed on the service order or call.
