Current BOM Cost Roll Up

Use this utility to recalculate the values shown on the Item Costs form for all standard jobs on the Items form. It calculates the total cost for the item using the operation setup and run times, and the bill of material quantity per assembly and unit cost. The cost used for each material comes from the Current Unit Cost field on the Item Costs form. The total cost calculated is then posted to the Current Unit Cost field of the parent item.

Running the Current BOM Processor before using this utility will ensure that the low-level codes are set properly. You must run the Change Cost Rates utility to update labor and overhead rates for existing current bills of material.

This utility does not roll up costs for:

• Items with the Configuration Flag check box selected (on the Controls tab of the Items form)
• Alternate materials specified on the current routing/BOM.
