       We have had many problems rolling costs with 6.0.02 plf 3/98.
       There are many BMRs since 3/98 regarding cost roll up.  I
       installed the latest BMR# 45828 last week and received correct
       results only after clearing the cost set and reentering
       material costs from scratch then doing a cost roll up.  All
       seems ok now except inter-facility cost transfer seems to
       continually add labor and overhead costs into the "to" facility
       this-level zero bucket on each iteration of the program (ie
       first time ok, second time cost double, third time costs
       triple).  SSA is working on BMR# 47604 to fix this problem.

       Subject:  CST500 Cost Set Rollup (doesn't)

     The question was:
     -----------------


     We are implementing BPCS V6.0.02 plf 3/98 cum.  For multi-level
     bills, CST500 is not rolling up costs for the children to the
     parent correctly. The cost being rolled up does not equal the sum
     of the children.  This does not happen for all items, but we have
     not found any consistency.  Has anyone gotten CST500 to work
     properly, or seen any problems with CST500?
     Thanks,

     Our experience is:
     ------------------

     We had this problem but discovered:

     You must run BOM reorganization BOM900 prior to rolling up the
     Costs.

     This reorganizes where changes have been made in the MDM
     structures. If this is not done, items where MDM has been changed
     since the last cost roll up will look correct, but not added up
     correctly.


     Hope that this helps;
