| # 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. Infor LN first searches for the costing breaks created for the specific project, then for a blank project. The hierarchical sequence that Infor 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. Related topics Costing Breaks 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. 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. Import Item Groups Imports all existing item groups. Import Components Imports all the BOM components linked to the selected main item. Copy to other Project Copies the selected costing break to another project. |
