Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1160m000)

Subcontracting rates are rates for subcontracted operations, and are used to calculate subcontracting operation costs. Use this session to list and define subcontracting rates by price-calculation code, subcontractor, and task. If you enter an item in the Parent item field, you can define item-specific rates.

Project

A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed for a particular customer order. A project is initiated to plan and coordinate the production of the to be manufactured items.

For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. A project can also include these:

  • Customized item data (BOMs and routings)
  • Project planning (activity planning)
Cost Calculation Code

A specification of how a standard cost, valuation price, or sales price is calculated. The code stores specific cost calculation data.

The price calculation code that is defined in the Standard Cost Calculation Parameters (ticpr0100m000) session determines the standard cost. Other cost calculation codes are used for simulation purposes. The price calculation code for customized items is stored by project.

Example
  • Specific operation rates
  • Subcontracting rates
  • Simulated purchase prices
  • Surcharges
Parent item

The end item on the production order for which one or more operations are subcontracted.

Subcontracting with Material Flow

If this check box is selected, subcontracting with material flow applies.

Subcontractor Independent

If this check box is selected, the specified rates are used to calculate operation costs for the subcontractor-independent operations and functions as fall back rates in case the subcontractor is known, but no rates are specified for that subcontractor.

Note

The subcontracted tasks needed for the production of the end item are not yet linked to a subcontractor, but the way subcontracting rates are calculated remains the same.

Subcontractor

A business partner that is hired to perform certain services, such as the execution of a part of a project or production order. The services are delivered via a purchase order.

Initial Hidden
Subcontracting Rate Multi Currency

The subcontracting rate if you use an independent currency system.

The currency that is displayed as default, and the corresponding subcontracting rate are related to the currency system. The default currency is used in internal calculations. The other currency relates to the currency of the supplier and can be manually entered. This currency is used when generating a purchase order.

Task

The task to which the subcontracting rate is linked.

Currency

The default currency and the corresponding subcontracting rate are related to the currency system that is used in internal calculations. This currency relates to the currency of the supplier and can be entered manually. This last one is used on generation of the purchase order.

Cost Component

A cost component is a user-defined category for the classification of costs.

Cost components have the following functions:

  • To break down an item's standard cost, sales price, or valuation price.
  • To create a comparison between the estimated production order costs and the actual production order costs.
  • To calculate production variances.
  • To view the distribution of your costs over the various cost components in the Cost Accounting module.

Cost components can be of the following cost types:

  • Operation Costs
  • Material Costs
  • Surcharge
  • General Costs
  • Not Applicable
Note

If you use Assembly Control (ASC), you cannot use cost components of the General Costs type.

The cost component must be of the Operation Costs type. This is the cost component on which the estimated subcontracting costs can be viewed in the cost-price calculations and production order costing.

Default value

LN retrieves the default value from the Standard Cost Calculation Parameters (ticpr0100m000) session.

Subassembly

If you are subcontracting with material flow, you can optionally enter the item that is the result of a subcontracted operation. This item becomes the default value of the Subassembly field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

Calculation Method for Subcontracting Costs

The method of calculating subcontracting costs.

Subcontracting Rate

The costs for subcontracting the subassembly.

Note

No subcontracting rate can be assigned to a phantom.
