Calculate Cost for All Parts

Explanation

This activity can be used to calculate a cost set for all parts directly or to schedule cost calculation.

The activity can be used to calculate cost for a cost set for all parts or a group of parts where the selection can be done for part cost group, product family, product code, part status or a combination of those.

The calculation of all parts is performed as a batch job. The calculation updates the part's level labor costs and the cumulative costs in the estimate section of the inventory part register. The structures and operations of the part are calculated and the costs are rolled up to update the cumulative calculations of the parent part.

This activity can also be used to schedule automatic cost calculations for a cost set.

Note: You cannot perform cost calculation for cost set 1.
