Cost rollup

[Jan_Stas]

Hi List,

we have a need to do a cost rollup for different types of Bills and Routings. One way we see is to copy everything to other branches or environments. We want to give our controllers the possibility to do simulations and calculate prices on different recipies/routings without intervening on the operational data.

How do others handle this? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Is there a possibility to do a cost rollup on other bills and routings? For routings this must be possible because the data-selection on the costed routing program contains routing type = 'M' or is this a misenterpretation of mine?

Thanks a lot in advance.

You have hit a classic dilemma with the JDE Standard Costing. It is hard coded to only roll the "M" BoM and Route. There is a similar opportunity with MRP. There is no good solution other than to modify the software. However, another good idea is to develop some kind of software switch to swap in/out the "M" type from the BoM & Route Tables (F3002 and F3003). A simple application could be done to do this if it doesn't mess too much with the keys to the table. You would also need some kind of "undo" feature so you can track what the original "M" type was meant to be.

If you can modify then you have to set up dummy Branch/Plants as you have suggested.
