Material Costs Subtab

The Material Costs subtab provides a breakdown of the cost of the components used in the assembly. You can view material costs based on item costing method, purchase price, or item default price on this subtab. Using these details, you analyze the cost of the materials used in the assembly.

The following table provides details about the fields in the Material Costs subtab.

Field

Description

Total Material Cost

Total material cost calculates based on the build quantity and cost of the end assembly item.

Material Cost per Unit

Material cost of a single unit of the end assembly item.

The following table provides details about the columns in the Material Costs subtab.

Column Name

Description

Item Name

Component item name.

Level

Level represents the level in the hierarchy of the exploded bill of materials.

Item Display Name

Display name of the component item.

Quantity

Quantity of the component item as per the bill of materials required to produce one unit of the assembly at this level.

Component Yield

Component yield is retrieved from the selected bill of materials revision of the assembly item.

Quantity Per Assembly

Quantity of the component item required to produce one unit of the assembly at this level based on component yield.

Quantity Per Top Level Assembly

Quantity of the component item required to produce one unit of the end assembly.

Quantity for Build

Quantity for Build calculates based on the product of build quantity and quantity per top level assembly.

Unit Cost

Unit cost of the component as per the selected material cost source. This column can be edited to generate simulated reports. For more information, read step 17 in Creating Costed Bill of Materials.

Units

Consumption unit of the component.

Total Cost

Total cost of the component.

Note:

The bill of materials revision for a subassembly is chosen based on the below precedence order:

  1. The bill of materials revision is active and the Date/Effective Date field is in the revision's effective date range.

  2. The bill of materials revision is active and the Date/Effective Date field is not in the revision's effective date range.

  3. The bill of materials revision is inactive and the Date/Effective Date field is in the revision's effective date range.

  4. The bill of materials revision is inactive and the Date/Effective Date field is not in the revision's effective date range.

Following points show how the bill of materials is associated with an effective revision:

  • If a bill of materials is associated with an expired bill of materials revision (with no effective revisions available), then the same expired revision will be considered to estimate costs.

  • If a bill of materials can be associated with more than one revision, an effective revision based on start and end dates will be considered.

  • If a bill of materials can be associated with more than one revision without effective start or end dates, a revision based on the last modified date will be considered.
