RE: Labor is not Rolling up in PDM Module (Costing)

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]
Bill is right on - cost technique code is the most likely cause and inactive
operations are easy to miss.
Another place to check is the routing and facility (Work Center) files. There
must be hours in the routing (labor, machine) and rates in the same places
(labor, machine) in the work center file (current or standard, depending on
what kind of costs you are calculating). Also note the overhead code controls
the calculation of overhead based on labor or machine time or amount - or not
at all.

a couple of ideas (these have bit me in the past):
the cost technique code in item master must be in place and consistent with
how you cost labor and overhead. For example, we use routings. Even if a
routing exists for the part, the cost technique code in item master must be
"R". If not, the labor won't roll up.
in the routing itself, there is a field called operation status. The options
are 00-inactive or 10-active. It may look like a routing exists and that
labor should be rolling up, but if he operation status was somehow set to
00-inactive, no labor rolls up.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have a problem with Labor is not Rolling up.
What are the possibilites that Labor is not rolling up, but Material Cost is
happening.
I have situation here where "The labor is rolling up at the part level, but
not in every case and not at the top or next level"
I will really appreciate if some one can give some input on this.
Regards
