Creating cost elements on the Costing page of a style

You can add new cost elements on the Costing tab of a style record. In the application, cost elements are usually defined in the Cost Element panel. Enabling you to add new cost elements on the Costing tab gives you the option to skip that procedure and proceed with defining your style costing.

  1. From the menu, select Basics > Style.
  2. Select a style record.
  3. On the style details page, click the Costing icon.
  4. In the Cost Elements section, click Add.
  5. Specify this information:
    Seq
    Displays the sequence number of the cost element. The sequence number is automatically generated. You can change this after you save the cost element.
    QI
    Select the check box to mark the cost element as a quotation input. You can only select cost elements that are calculated or input types and not mapped to any BOM. When you add a cost model to a style, the quotation indicator is inherited.

    Any cost element that is marked with quotation indicator is included in a request for quotation.

    Type
    Select a cost element type.
    Cost Level
    Select a cost level. Cost levels are a generic lookup type and can be defined in Generic Lookup.
    Code
    Specify a code for the cost element.
    Name
    Provide a name for the cost element.
    Description
    Provide a brief description about the cost element.
    Style Color Prices
    The style color prices from Style Costing to Sourcing is displayed.
    BOM Version
    Select a BOM version. Available options depend on the number of BOM versions that you created for the style.
    Costing Data from Request
    The variable supplier costing data from Request page is displayed. You can update the details from this column when you have update permissions in both Request and Costing.

    See Additional Request information in Style Costing page.

    Note: For cost elements that are manually added on the Costing page of a style record, Input is the default setting for the Type field in Cost Element Properties. To change this, double-click the Cost Element cell and apply preferred changes.

    Additionally, the received date from a request is inherited in the costing process. You can view this date in the Supplier Details of a Costing Column. The received date in the Supplier Details is read-only and always matches the received date from the linked request.

  6. Click Save.
