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, enabling 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. You can define a schedule to run the Roll up Costs process for configured items on a periodic basis.

When you set the rollup scope to Unprocessed Purchase Orders and Work Orders, after a purchase order for a procured configured item is approved or a work order for a manufactured configured item is issued, the Roll up Costs 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.

When you set the rollup scope to Where Used, the Roll up Costs process uses the latest snapshot of the configured items with published costs and identifies the impacted elements, such as manufactured items with open work orders, procured items with open purchase orders, or if there aren't any open work orders and purchase orders, then items with positive on-hand quantity. The process uses the standard costs and resource rates that you've defined along with the latest snapshot of the configured items to recalculate the cost of the configured items.

When you set the rollup scope to Selected Items, you must select the items for which the costs must be rolled up. If you select an assemble to order model, then the cost of all associated configured items will be rolled up. For manufactured items, the process snapshots the work definition of the configured items. For procured items, the process identifies the most recent purchase order. The Roll up Costs process calculates the costs using the effective component costs, resource rates, and overhead rates.

When you set the rollup scope to Selected Item Categories, you must select the item categories for which the costs must be rolled up. The process identifies all the items for a selected item category and calculates the costs similar to when the rollup scope is set to Selected Items.

Also, you can roll up and publish the costs of all your configured items, even if those items don't have a new work order or purchase order.

When you create a cost scenario of configured items with the rollup scope set to All Items, the Roll up Costs scheduled process will roll up the costs of all configured items in the application that've:

• Positive on-hand quantity at the time of roll up, or

• Existing work order that isn't closed or cancelled (for make configured items), or

• Existing purchase order that isn't closed or canceled (for buy configured items)

Attention:

When the rollup scope is set to All Items, the costs of all configured items are rolled up, therefore, it's highly recommend that you use this rollup scope judiciously to avoid long running processes.

After the Roll up Costs process is complete, you can validate the costs of the configured items on the Rolled-up Costs page or the Cost Rollup Report or the predefined OTBI reports.
