Configured Item Purchase Order Costing

Purchase Orders (P4310) uses the Supplier Price/Catalog table (F41061) and the Item Cost table (F4105) to determine purchase order cost. The Purchase Orders program searches the F41061 table first and then searches the F4105 table to find a cost for the item. The Purchase Order Cost Method (PCSM) in the Cost Revisions program (P4105) is used to retrieve the cost from the F4105 table.

The Configurator Costing Method field in the Item Master program (P4101) is used to cost configured items on purchase orders.

When creating a purchase order for a configured item using Configurator costing methods 1, 2, or 4, the system searches the F41061 and the F4105 table to find the component costs or the cost of the parent if using method 2.

Next, for Configurator costing methods 1 and 2, any necessary X assembly inclusion rules are added.

Finally, any purchase order advanced price adjustment that exists is calculated, according to the Configurator costing method, to arrive at the final purchase order cost.

For Configurator costing method 4, as in the sales order Kit/Configurator Pricing Method 4, advanced pricing adjustments are applied to the components before the X assembly inclusion rules are added.

For the purchase order for the component of a configured item, the purchase cost is calculated when R31410 is run; then, that cost is added to the F3102 table. During purchase order receipts, the system creates the cost when the item is committed to the work order. This functionality is based on the actual cost associated with the purchase order at the time of receipt.
