Introduction
This module focuses on BOM (Bill of Materials) calculations, which are used to determine the prices associated with a BOM and manage cost and sales price calculations for manufactured items. The Calculate item cost page is the central tool for performing these calculations, enabling users to calculate the cost and sales price of an item, generate associated records within a costing version, and handle variations depending on costing version policies, such as standard or planned costs. Additionally, it addresses BOM calculations in the context of sales orders and service orders, with a focus on specific pricing and cost structures, as well as the use of different costing policies and settings for accurate financial management. The module outlines the steps and conditions required to run and manage these calculations, as well as how to view and handle any warnings or issues that may arise during the process. Continuing, this module discusses BOM measurements, which are used to simplify the creation of BOM versions for items that vary primarily in size or dimensions. It explains how measurement configurations, such as height, width, depth, and density, can reduce the need for multiple BOM versions by calculating the consumption of materials based on these measurements. The module covers the setup of measurement configurations, consumption calculations, rounding-up methods, and measurement conversion factors. Additionally, it touches on the use of BOM reports to track the use of BOMs, identify potential issues, and facilitate mass updates and validation checks in the BOM structure.
