Costing Breaks - Production Material (tppdm3101m000)

Use this session to create and maintain the costing breaks for the production item linked to the project.

For a project involving production of an item, you can create costing breaks for the material costs. You can create costing breaks for the main item, the BOM components of the main item or the item groups mapped to the specific element or activity of the project.

LN first searches for the costing breaks created for the specific project, then for a blank project. However, if the Job Shop by Site field is set to Active in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session, LN first searches for the specific site and specific project, then for a specific site and a blank project, then for a blank site and the specific project, and last for a blank site and a blank project. The hierarchical sequence that LN follows to search for the costing breaks:

Main item/ (BOM) component item
Item group/ main item
Only the main item
Only the (BOM) component item
Item group

Note: To manually copy the costing breaks to another project, select the Copy to other Project option on the Actions menu. The Copy to Other Project window opens wherein you can specify the target project code.

Field Information

Project

The code that identifies the project for which the costing breaks are created.

Note: You can also create costing breaks for blank projects (projects for which the project code is not specified). However, you must specify the standard element/activity to create costing breaks.

Line

The line number of the costing break.

Site

The code of the site for which the costing break of the production item is applicable.

Note:

This field is displayed only if the Job Shop by Site field is set to Active in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
If the value is not specified in this field, the costing break for the production item is applicable for more than one site.

Item Group

The item group for which the costing break is created. Infor LN links the costing break to all the BOM components linked to the specified item group.

Note:

The Component Item field is disabled if you specify a value in this field.

If you do not specify the item group and if you specify the Main Item, Infor LN links the costs to the costing break for all the component items related to the specified Main Item.

If you do not specify the item group and the main item, if you specify only the Component Item, Infor LN links the costs to the costing break only for the specified Component Item.

Description

The description or name of the code.

Main Item

The main item for which the costing break is created.

Note:

If you specify the main item and do not specify the Component Item, Infor LN creates the costing break for all the component items linked to the main item.

If you specify the main item and also the Component Item, Infor LN creates the costing break for the component item linked to the main item.

If you do not specify the main item and specify only the Component Item, Infor LN creates the costing break only for the component item.

If you do not specify the main item and if you specify the item group in the Item Group field, Infor LN creates the costing break for all the component items linked to the Item Group

Description

The description or name of the code.

Component Item

The component item in the (BOM) of the main item for which the costing break is created.

Note:

This field is disabled if you enter a value in the Item Group field.

If you specify only the component item but do not specify the Main Item and the Item Group, Infor LN creates the costing break only for the component item.

If you do not specify a value in this field, Infor LN links the costing break to all the BOM components for the Main Item.

Element

The element for which the costing break is created.

Note: You must specify a standard element or a standard activity for a blank project.

Description

The description or name of the code.

Activity

The activity for which the costing break is created.

Note: You must specify a standard element or a standard activity for a blank project.

Description

The description or name of the code.
