MFG Costing Question

Hi ya' all... I had a question relating to MFG Costing. I have a client on
XE SP 20 (soon to be SP21) Update 6... they have five manufacturing
facilities. Some of the facilities make intermediaries for other ones...
when a cost is rolled up in one branch/plant ... is it possible to pass that
new cost to the other branch/plant? Considering that pricing/cost is
branch/plant specific?

For example... Part 1234 has an intermediary part number A... Part A is made
in NY. Part 1234 is made in Chicago. If NY has to re-roll it's costing do
to a cost update... can the new Cost (because Chicago is buying from NY),
but rolled into the Chicago cost of Part 1234 without "manual intervention"?

This customer is currently not on MRP, but we hope to be this year. Let me
know. thanks, Bobby

Hi Ame,
you can on the BoM set the demand b/pl for each of the components. This would allow the cost to be drawn from the other b/pl.
What is will not address is how to get the product between these b/pl's and in that I am assuming that they belong to the same company.

Hope this helps a little

Hi Peter .. yes it does.. .the follow up issue that I am having is after
running the simulate and frozen in the first b/p (and the cost is changed)
and then running it in the second... it doesn't update the second's cost
even though my BOM has the component branch as the first b/p... and ideas
what I am missing?

Bobby, I would review how you are making the selection for the individual
branch plants. If you are doing a cost roll based on the branch being 'B'
and the component is in Branch 'A', it won't select the 'A' for rollup. You
may have to select both 'A' and 'B' in your selection. If you review the
data selection, the selection is based on the F4102 file.

Ame,
just to let you know that (depending on what version you are on ) there are lots of problems with the cost roll up. In fact JDE released an ESU for one of my clients 18435 - you may need to apply some ESU's.
Sounds like a KG job - sorry!

Peter

Ame,
jsut a follow up - if the rollup is "all" items and its a "blow out BoM" then the costs should be drawn through. One of my clients has had problems on this area (XE U6 SP20 W2K SQL). Also Don from Wagstaff seems to be having problems also.

Best regards

Peter
PS Sorry for the less than certain post!

Thanks.. I appreciate it.. taking your advice.. I am downloading the latest
ESU now and will test... we are on Update 6 SP21 (trying to).. so we will
see how it shakes out. thanks, Bobby
