Element Budget (Material) (tpptc1110s000)

Use this session to maintain budget lines of the material cost type for the selected element and project.

If you copy a material budget line with a configured generic item, the product variant is not copied. The configurator starts in order to generate a new product variant. The product variant is used to trace back the configuration of the generic item.

Note: 

The budget lines that are generated based on a deliverable, are not considered for the calculation of the Project Requirements Planning (PRP).

Budget Details
Net Quantity

The amount of material required, in the units in which material is measured.

The field is only applicable if:

  • The physical quantity of the item's unit is Length or Area (m2).
  • You have entered either the length or the length and width.
  • The number of units has been determined.

If you place the cursor in this field, LN displays the result of the computation according to one of the following formulas:

net quantity = length * number of units 
net quantity = length * width * number of units
Note: 

The default net quantity is given according to the following calculation:

adjustment balance amount = standard cost * net quantity 

So if the adjustment balance amount is 100 and the standard cost is 10, the default net quantity will be -10.

The calculated default net quantity is usually a negative value, because then the adjustment balance results in a balance of zero.

Net Quantity Unit

The unit in which the size or quantity of the material item is expressed.

Length

The base unit used to express the physical length of the item.

Length

The physical length of the material item.

Width

The base unit used to express the physical width of the item.

Width

Note: This field is enabled only if the value in the Net Quantity field is square meters (m2).
Number of Units

The number of times the item appears in the length or area.

Scrap [%]

The additional material required during production or project execution to compensate for material losses such as breakage, sawing and cutting, and theft. Enter the amount as a percentage.

Cost Details
Unit Cost

The standard cost.

If the Price Policy field is set to Standard Cost and the Standard Cost Type field is set to Inventory Valuation in the Item - Project (tppdm0105s000) session, the standard cost is retrieved from the Item - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session.

If the Price Policy field is set to Standard Cost and the Standard Cost Type field is set to Manual Entry in the Item - Project (tppdm0105s000) session, the standard cost is retrieved from Item - Project (tppdm0105s000).

If no price is found for a project item, the standard cost of the underlying standard cost object is retrieved instead.

Note: 
  • The standard cost of an item is defined for each enterprise unit in the Item - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session. If the Price Policy field is set to Standard Cost in the Item - Project (tppdm0105s000) session, LN defaults the standard cost in the Cost Entry (tpppc2605m000) session for the material and the Element Budget (Material) (tpptc1110s000) session. To enable the default mechanism for the standard cost of the generic item, the Standard Costs at Level field in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session can be set to either Enterprise Unit or Company.
