Additonal Production Costs (ADC)

Products of Class = K/KA and their Production Work Orders (PWO) have Operations (OPR) and part/material/sub-products (ART) that defines the operation cost and the material cost for the product. In some cases there are also other costs that the users want to add to the structure. This is, for example, a cost added to cover for the administration cost for purchase or warehousing cost, typically a percentage added on top of the material cost. Or it can be a license cost that applies when running a specific work operation. These added costs are defined in the CST archive via the ADC application. All such added costs are direct costs, that means that they are part of the completed products stock value when included in a PWO.

    Displays the default currency.

  6. Value type

    Type of ADC value provided. Amount if value provided is fixed. Percent if provided value is percentage value.

  7. Used in

    This field shows how many Product Structures (KIT) and Operations (OPR) the ADC is used for. The arrow icon to the right also links directly to the KITs and OPRs where this ADC is active.

How to create a new Additional Production Cost

  1. Write ADC in the program field and press ENTER.

  2. Click the Create new additional production cost button in the lower left-hand corner.

  3. This opens a new popup where you will need to add information:

    1. Name

      Give the ADC a descriptive name.

    2. Cost target

      Set if the ADC has Variable or Fixed cost.

  4. Click the OK button to create an ADC in status 1.

  5. Optional, add information in the Additional production costs data area.

  6. Choose the Activate option in the context menu to activate the ACD.

The ADC is now in status 4 and can be used in KITs and OPRs.

Note: If you need to deactivate this ADC, choose the Deactivate option in the context menu.
