Price and Cost
You can enter item price and item cost information instead of pricing information in the system. The price and cost criteria to enter for simulations include:
-
Unit Cost.
Enter a value the system uses to project a static cost for all future periods. If you leave this field blank, the system does not retrieve the cost for future periods.
-
Cost Factor (%).
Enter a factor value that the system applies to the future cost for future periods. The system uses the factor value to adjust the cost value in the Unit Cost field above or the cost retrieved from the F4105 table. You can enter a positive or negative value. If you leave this field blank, the system does not apply a cost factor.
-
Unit Price.
Enter a value the system uses to project a static price for all future periods. If you do not select the Use Advanced Price option, the system applies the factor in the Price Factor field. If you select the Use Advanced Price option, the system uses this value as the base price and applies price adjustments to it.
-
Price Factor (%).
Enter a factor value that the system applies to the future price for future periods. The system uses the factor value to adjust the price value in the Unit Price field above or the price retrieved from the advanced price adjustment schedule, or the base price table (F4106). You can enter a positive or negative value. If you leave this field blank, the system does not apply a factor.
-
Forecast Factor (%).
Enter a factor value that the system applies to the future forecast for future periods. The system uses the factor value to adjust the forecast quantity retrieved from the forecast. You can enter a positive or negative value. If you leave this field blank, the system does not apply a factor.
