Re: Standard cost roll up

To all with costing questions and comments on the rollup problems, here is some
general info that might help several situations:

First, the cost rollup programs:

1) CST500 says "cost set rollup".  It actually only rolls up the bill of
material.   It does not calculate costs from routings.
2) CST600 says "load standards from routings".  It actually performs two
functions.  First, it calculates labor and overhead based on routings &
workcenters, then calls CST500 to "rollup" material, labor and overhead costs.
When most people refer to the BPCS "cost rollup" process, they are referring to
the CST600 process.

Second, the setup and system parameters.

1) System Parameters:  If you have the cost system parameters set for facility
specific costs = Y (SYS800-08), you must have facility specific routings
defined.  You can have either facility specific bills of material or global
bills of material.

If you have the cost system parameters set for facility costs = N, then you MUST
have GLOBAL bills of materials and GLOBAL routings. (note: planning bills are
not facility specific....)  The most likely cause of the no cost rollup problem
is that you have the costing parameter set to global costs, but you have
facility specific bills and routings.

2) As mentioned in one response, method codes can also come into play.  The B/M
and routing method codes used during cost rollup are defined on the cost set.
However, there is a hierarchy that is followed.  For example, if the cost set
says to use B/M routing "EX", and "EX" does not exist, it will look next for
either a facility specific or global b/m (depending on the system parameters.).

3) In order for CST600 to generate labor and overhead, you must define standard
rates in a workcenter (CAP100) and hours required in a routing (SFC100).  (The
routing needs to be facility specific or global depending on the system
parameters).

4) In order for CST500 to roll up material costs, you must define the standard
cost for all purchased raw materials used on the B/M (CST100).  If you are doing
facility costing, these need to be facility specific.  If you are doing global
costing, these need to be global.   You also need to define a B/M.

Finally, the files.

1) CMF is the cost master file.  It stores all the specific costs by item, cost
set, and cost bucket (and also by facility if the parameter is set to facility
specific costing).   You can see data in CMF via the CST300 inquiry.  Total cost
by item(by facility) is stored in cost bucket 0.

2) CIC is the old facility cost file, and the current Item/Facility planning
data file.  It stores total item cost by facility for cost sets 1 - 4.  If a CIC
record doesn't already exist, it will get created when a facility specific BOM
is created during BOM500.  It will also get created when you create a facility
specific routing (SFC100).   CIC records  ARE NOT required for either the CST500
or CST600 process (at least at as of BPCS 405CD REL02).     However, if you have
a situation where you have facility specific costing, but no CIC records, you
could encounter some "incorrect" calculations in the cost rollups.  The batch
size in CIC is the B/M batch size used by CST500, and the lot size in CIC is
used to allocate setup costs defined on the routings in CST600.  If you have
facility specific B/M and routings, but no CIC records, I suspect it is because
you converted data or loaded it from a source outside of BPCS.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

** High Priority **


We have 4.05 CD RISC

Standard cost roll up:

We have defined normal Bill of material (BOM 500). When we run standard cost
roll up, standard cost not getting rolled up.

If we define planning Bill of material (BOM 600) and run standard cost roll up,
standard cost getting rolled up.

We could not understand that why with normal bill of materail, standard cost is
not getting rolled up.

Can anyone help me in this reagard.
