Effective Assembly Line Surcharge (ticpr3150m000)

Use this session to display the item surcharges by assembly line that are effective when calculating the assembly costs. The effective assembly line surcharges are displayed in this session after running the Actualize Assembly Line Surcharges (ticpr2280m000) session. In the Effective Date field the date is displayed on which the assembly line surcharges are actualized.

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.

Field Information

Assembly Line

assembly line

Item

The generic item or manufactured item for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly.

Effective Date

The date and time on which the assembly line surcharges were actualized in the Actualize Assembly Line Surcharges (ticpr2280m000) session.

Sequence Number

sequence number

Description

The description of the assembly line's surcharge.

Item Costing Currency

The currency in which the surcharge is expressed.

Surcharge Method

The method of calculating the surcharge for the assembly line.

If the method is Selective (Total Costs) or Selective (Added Costs), a surcharge base is defined in the Assembly Line Surcharge Bases (ticpr1190m000) session to which the calculation applies.

Allowed values

Fixed Amount

The surcharge expressed as a fixed amount can be positive or negative. In the latter case, it is in effect an Item Surcharge Base (ticpr1120m000) discount.

% of Total Costs

The surcharge is a percentage of the total costs as included in the cost calculation.

Note: LN does not include surcharges that must be calculated in the surcharge on the total costs, because they are not known at that moment. The surcharge percentage can be positive or negative. In the latter case, it is in effect a discount.
% of Added Costs

This method is similar to the of Total Costs method, except that a surcharge is now only applied to the added costs that are known. Added costs are direct operation costs at the highest level in the product structure, and cost surcharges. In this way, you can avoid that surcharges are applied to surcharges, which is mainly relevant for manufactured parts with a multilevel product structure.

% Selective (Total Costs)

This method is similar to the of Total Costs method. However, the surcharge basis is not the total standard cost, but a selection of the item's total cost structure. Run the Item Surcharge Base (ticpr1120m000) session to specify the cost component(s) to which the surcharge must be applied.

% Selective (Added Costs)

This surcharge method is similar to the of Total Costs method, in which the surcharge basis is not the total standard cost for the selected cost components, but only the added costs for the cost components. Refer to the information on the of Added Costs method.

Surcharge Amount

The surcharge expressed as an amount. An amount is entered in this field if the Surcharge Method field is Fixed Amount.

Surcharge Percentage

The surcharge expressed as a percentage.

A surcharge percentage is entered in this field if the Surcharge Method field has one of the following values:

  • of Total Costs
  • of Added Costs
  • Selective (Added Costs)
  • Selective (Total Costs)
Cost Component

The cost component to which the assembly line's surcharge is linked.

Variable Cost

Specifies whether the project surcharges are variable or fixed.

If this check box is selected, the surcharge is considered a variable cost. Otherwise, it is considered a fixed cost.

Note: Fixed costs are only included in the standard cost of a project if the Include Fixed Costs in Project Valuation parameter is selected.
