Calculating Standard Cost and Actualizing Assembly Lines

Defining assembly line costing data

Use the Assembly Line Costing Data (ticpr0115m000) session to store costing data that is related to an assembly line, or to a combination of an assembly line and an item. You can enter a cost component chart to post costs on a detailed level. In the Cost Component Scheme field, you can enter a chart to which detailed cost components are linked. If a cost component chart is defined for an assembly line, costs are posted on the detailed cost components in the chart. If the Cost Component Scheme field is empty, all costs are posted to the aggregated cost components. If the Transaction Processing field in the Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000) session is Line Station Based, you can enter costing data for an assembly line. If the Transaction Processing field is Order Based, you can enter costing data for a combination of an assembly line and an item.

Actualizing assembly line costing data

Use the Assembly Line Costing Data (ticpr0115m000) session to actualize the assembly line costing data, which results in an effective cost component structure by assembly line and item.

The effective cost component structure contains the aggregated cost components that are defined for the item in the Item - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session. If you entered a chart for an assembly line, the detailed cost components that were defined for the chart are included in the effective cost component structure.

You can view the effective cost component structure in the Effective Cost Component Structure by Assembly Line and Item (ticpr3162m000) session. In the Effective Date field, the date on which the assembly line costing data is actualized is displayed.

Note: You must actualize the costing data for all lines that are part of your assembly line model.

Defining assembly line surcharge data

Use the Assembly Line Surcharges (ticpr1180m000) session to define surcharges for an assembly line. Surcharges are extra costs in an item's standard cost or valuation price, for example, handling costs or inspection costs. A surcharge serves as a discount if the amount or percentage entered is a negative value. If you use order-based transaction processing, surcharges are defined for a combination of an assembly line and an item. If you use line-station-based transaction processing, surcharges are defined for an assembly line. You cannot define a fixed surcharge amount for assembly-line-based transaction processing. The surcharges are posted to the assembly line when the line is closed. For order-based-transaction processing, the surcharges are posted to the assembly line by order.

Note: If the Transaction Processing field in the Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000) session is set to Order Based, you can enter surcharges for a combination of assembly lines and generic items. If you select the Line Station Based option in the Transaction Processing field of the Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000) session, you can enter only surcharges for an assembly line.

Actualizing assembly line surcharges

Use the Actualize Assembly Line Surcharges (ticpr2280m000) session to actualize the assembly line surcharges and the assembly line surcharge bases. Effective assembly line surcharges and effective assembly line surcharge bases are created, which are used in assembly line costing. The effective date is the date on which the process is run. You can display the effective assembly line surcharges in the Effective Assembly Line Surcharge (ticpr3150m000) session. You can display the effective assembly line surcharge bases in the Effective Assembly Line Surcharge Base (ticpr3160m000) session.

Select your assembly line from the assembly line's from-to range. For other options, you can use default settings. Click Actualize to continue.

Note: You must actualize the surcharges for all lines that are part of your assembly line model.
