How ERP calculates the product variant cost structure

A product variant cost structure is calculated for each option set. This calculation is based on the generic sales price list defined for the generic item linked to the option set, or based on the chosen product variant options for the relevant option set. During this process, product variant options are automatically inherited from higher levels in the generic product structure.

The final sales price for a product variant is determined based on the various sales price components in the sales price structure for the product variant.

Option set quantity

For each option set, the required quantity is determined by LN based on the generic product structure and the chosen options for product features. The generated sales prices in the sales price structure of the option set are then multiplied by the required quantity for the option set.

Product variant options

If no sales price structure is defined for the first option set of the product variant (option set 0), or if the sales price of the first option set is 0 and the configured product is a phantom item, LN automatically generates a sales price plan for the standard components on the first bill of material level of the configured product variant structure. A discount percentage is also determined for the generic components based on the first bill of material level of the sales price information.
