| Assembly Line Surcharges (ticpr1180m000) |  |
| Use this session to define surcharges for an assembly line. Surcharges are extra costs in an item's standard cost price 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. If you use order based transaction processing, surcharges are defined for a combination of an assembly line and an item. If you use line station based transaction processing, surcharges are defined for an assembly line. You cannot define a fixed surcharge amount in case of assembly line based transaction processing. The surcharges are posted to the assembly line when the line is closed. In case of order based transaction processing, the surcharges are posted to the assembly line by order.
Fields | Description
Assembly Line | A set of consecutive line stations in which FAS (Final Assembly Schedule) items are manufactured. The items are manufactured by passing the items from line station to line station and by carrying out operations at each line station. An assembly line is subdivided into a number of line segments separated by buffers. An assembly line can be either a main line or a supplying line.
Item | The generic item or manufactured item for which the Default Supply Source is Assembly.
Sequence Number | The number that identifies a data record or a step in a sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in many contexts. Usually ERP LN generates the sequence number for the next item or step. Depending on the context, you can overwrite this number. You can sometimes influence the numbering by setting the corresponding parameters.
Description | The description of the assembly line's surcharge.
Currency | The currency in which the surcharges are expressed. The usage of this field depends on the currency system that is set in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) session. Dependent: You can only access this field if your company's currency system is Dependent. You can enter any currency in this field to express the cost price. Independent: If your company's currency system is Independent, you cannot access this field. However, you can select the home currencies Currency, Currency, or Currency by clicking View Other Currencies. The default currency in this field is the reference currency that you defined in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) session. Single: If your company's currency system is Single, you cannot access this field. The cost price currency is the Currency, which is displayed in this field.
Surcharge Method | The method of calculating the surcharge for the assembly line. If you select Selective (Total Costs) or Selective (Added Costs), you must define the surcharge base to which the calculation applies in the Assembly Line Surcharge Bases (ticpr1190m000) session. Allowed values Possible values
Surcharge Percentage | The surcharge expressed as a percentage. You can enter a surcharge percentage in this field, if the Surcharge Method field has one of the following values: of Total Costs of Added Costs Selective (Total Costs) Selective (Total Costs) Surcharges are extra costs in an item's standard cost price 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.
Surcharge Component | The cost component to which the assembly line's surcharge is linked. Related topics Cost components in Manufacturing
Variable Cost | Surcharges can contribute to either fixed operation costs or variable operation costs. Fixed operation costs are costs that are independent on the number of items produced. Variable operation costs are costs that depend on the number of items produced. In ERP LN, cost prices and valuation prices can be broken down into fixed costs and variable costs. If this check box is selected, the defined surcharge is considered as variable costs. A surcharge that is considered as variable costs will always be included in FTP inventory valuation. If this check box is cleared, the defined surcharge is considered as fixed costs. A surcharge that is considered as fixed costs will only be included in FTP inventory valuation if the Include Fixed Costs in Valuation Price check box in the Cost Price Calculation Parameters (ticpr0100m000) session is selected. Note The used valuation method for inventory valuation must be Fixed Transfer Pricing (FTP). If an actual valuation method is used, such as LIFO, FIFO, or MAUC, inventory valuation will include fixed costs as well as variable costs. In standard cost price calculation, it makes no difference whether surcharges are fixed costs or variable costs. The outcome of the cost price is not effected. However, ERP LN can break down the cost price into fixed costs and variable costs.
Surcharge Bases Present | If this check box is selected, a surcharge base is defined in the Assembly Line Surcharge Bases (ticpr1190m000) session.
Surcharge Amount | The surcharge expressed as an amount. You can enter an amount in this field, if the Surcharge Method field is Fixed Amount. Surcharges are extra costs in an item's standard cost price 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.
