To set up costing breaks

Infor LN allows you to create multiple costing breaks for a project.

Pre-requisites to create costing breaks

Infor LN allows you to create costing breaks for projects only if the Costing Breaks check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is selected.

Costing breaks cannot be created for the projects of the type Internal and Template.

You must specify the element/activity to create costing breaks for a project. The activities used to create costing breaks must be of the type Control Account or Work Package.

Setting up costing breaks

Use the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session to create/set up costing breaks for the production material and resource costs, service depot repair material, labor, and other costs, for the project.

Note

You can also create costing breaks for blank projects with the project code not specified in the Project field in the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session. However, you must specify the standard element or a standard activity.

Copying costing breaks

Infor LN allows you to manually copy the costing break to a target project using the Copy to other Project option. The Copy to other Project is available for all the satellite sessions in the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session. The Copy to Other Project window opens, wherein you can specify the target project.

Infor LN allows you to copy the costing break:

  • from an existing project to a new project
  • from a template to a new project
  • from an existing project to a template project
  • from an existing project to another existing project
Removing empty costing breaks

Use the Remove empty Cost Pegs in the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session, to delete the costing break lines that are not linked to a project peg (element/activity).
