Usage

Use this tab to view operation information associated with an item selected in the tree structure which represents a manufactured part; setup, run and cost related.

For a manufactured part it is possible to create new or modify existing operations in this tab. An operation is always founded on existing work centers and labor classes. If a cost set has been used to apply costs for an inherited product structure and routing, then the level cost for a new operation is calculated immediately. It is calculated based on the operation parameters and the costs defined for the corresponding work center and labor classes cost set records. When no cost set is defined for the part then no level cost is calculated for the operation upon saving. It will be calculated first when a cost set is applied.                                             

If no cost set is applied at all then the level cost for a new operation calculated upon saving based on the cost set 1. Existing operations are calculated simultaneously as the calculation is executed. The level cost is then calculated on the base of the cost set 1 record defined for included work center and labor classes.

Standard operations can be added to the records of operations for a manufacturing part included in the estimate tree structure. The standard operation information for estimate can only be copied, not referred as for routings. It can only be copied since reference would provide the option to influence the estimate cost calculation by updating the standard operation parameters. Changes of the operation parameters which have an impact on the cost calculation is only allowed to perform from the operation record itself.

Note: This tab is disabled for product items with part type Purchased and Purchase (raw). A purchase part can just have a purchase structure with never no operations connected.
