Cost Rollup for Configured Items

For configured items, you can run the Roll up Costs process as and when the business needs, that's to say you can run the process on-demand, allowing you to calculate and publish the latest costs for manufactured and procured items.

You can also calculate the costs of manufactured configured items before the transactions occur to plan for the costs. That's to say, you can plan the costs for manufactured configured items without a work order.

Additionally, if you've set the rollup scope to Unprocessed Purchase Orders and Work Orders, you can schedule the Roll up Costs process for configured items. This ensures that whenever a purchase order for a procured configured item is approved or a work order for a manufactured configured item is issued, the process rolls up the costs of that item for the new purchase order or work order, using the effective component costs, resource rates, and overhead rates.
