Cost Simulation

Each calculation layout must always contain the following fields:

Calculation Ingredients (A0_IN)

oThis parameter contains the sum of all raw material costs.

oThis parameter must always be at the beginning of each calculation, regardless of whether it is needed or not. If it is not used, the parameter can be hidden using the "Sales" checkbox.

Calculation Recipes (A0)

oThe parameter "Calculation Recipes must always be included in the cost accounting, regardless of whether it is needed or not.

oWhen not in use, it can be hidden, but must still be included in the cost accounting.

Own cost rates

oAny number of own cost rates with or without formula can be created and inserted into the cost accounting.

oPlease note that the cost accounting always calculates from top to bottom. Fixed positions can be highlighted and hidden, but must always be inserted above the usage.

Gross costs - Calculation (BRU) - Last position

oThis cost rate must always be included in the calculation, even if it is not needed. Please note that if a formula is used, "Algo" is also selected.

note

Note: Alternatively, A1_IN and A1 can also be used instead of A0_IN and A0. These are the same blocks as A0_IN and A0. The only difference is that these cost records do not receive an update from the program after loading. No update related to selected price sets and or updates related to changes in the price of the Master data. These fields can be manipulated compared to A0_IN and A0.
Note: If A0_IN and A1_IN are used together, A0_IN must be at the beginning.

All available fixed fields with references from other PDM modules in the appendix.

Example:

In the example above, the fields "Total recipe calculation" and "Gross price calculation" are hidden.

In the simulation only the three visible fields "Calculation Ingredients", "Other" and "Sales Price" are visible. The field "Calculation Ingredients" has been overwritten with SFr. 25.00, which makes SFr. 30.00 in total with the other costs.

Administration: All master data must be stored in a defined product structure under losses. This is defined via the program parameter VORKALK_PRODGEB.

In the example below the Ident "VK" is stored in the above mentioned parameter.

Illustration 1: Defined storage of calculation records under the ID "VK"

All necessary criteria (cost rates) must be created in the master data under the product structure: Losses/Increases → Preliminary Costing.

To make the simulation calculate, some standard fields must be created and used. But these can be hidden for the overhead calculation.

All cost rates required for overhead cost accounting plus the fields required for functionality must be entered here a second time in the "Overhead rates" area. It is important to note that the code is the same as the Ident of the above mentioned Master data.

All fields that were created under the button "Preliminary costing records" are now available in the costing records.

It is important to note that:

The calculation needs some fields as standard first and last of every cost calculation, regardless of whether they are used or not.

The identity of the field is used for the algorithm.

The calculation is calculated from top to bottom. That means fixed values and intermediate results must be above the usage.

Algorithm:

Calculates from left to right (dot before stroke rule is not considered). References to previously made fixed values must be calculated with x1 [times].

Under the "Recipe" tab, the recipe required for cost accounting is called up.

Via the right mouse button the function "Create price comparison...". is called.

The next dialog shows the selected recipe. Further recipes can be selected by marking the checkbox on the left. With the button "Accept" the selected or chosen recipe is accepted.

In the next dialog the cost scheme is selected. There is currently only one scheme available below. Click on "Apply" to start the costing calculation.

The cost-plus calculation is ready. Filling out the fields starts from top to bottom.

Under the radio button "Sales" only the marked and selected fields are shown.

Under the radio button "Quantity" all raw material unit costs and all criteria necessary for cost calculation are shown. This function can be hidden via the authorization.

The export can be done by clicking the "Excel" button in the upper right corner.
