DOP Costing

DOP Costing enabled you to analyze and follow up the costs related to a DOP structure. DOP costs can be calculated for a site, all user allowed sites, or for a specific DOP structure. In addition, it is possible to execute the batch process regularly by scheduling the calculation. If you want to monitor cost performance, you get the most correct graph if the actual cost is calculated every work day for the DOP structure. DOP order costs based on cost buckets in cost set one, could be updated by right-clicking and then clicking Calculate DOP Cost in the graphical object structure of the Costing tab of the DOP Header window or in the Costing tab of the DOP Order window.

There are three different types of costs; Standard, Estimated, and Actual. Results of DOP cost calculation can be seen in DOP Order or DOP Header. Moreover, the value of each cost type can be compared.

Standard Cost

The standard cost represents the costs that are normally booked to a DOP order with the given material and operations.

• DOP orders for non-configured purchased parts (regardless of Create Pegged setting) and manufactured parts with Create Pegged set to No Pegged Orders fetches the costs from the part cost, cost set 1.
• DOP orders for configured purchased parts with Inventory Part Cost Level set to Cost per Configuration primarily fetches the cost using the configuration ID, secondarily from the part cost, costs set 1.
• DOP orders for manufactured parts with Create Pegged set to Pegged Orders uses the DOP order operations when calculating manufacturing costs. If the pegged manufactured part is at a leaf node of a DOP structure, its material cost is fetched from its components, using part cost, cost set 1.

Estimated Cost

Estimated cost represents the costs that are expected to be booked to a DOP order given the material and operations configuration of its supply order.

• DOP orders for manufactured parts with Create Pegged set to Pegged Orders primarily fetches the costs from the estimated costs from its pegged shop order. Costs for any remaining quantity not supplied from a pegged shop order is calculated similar as the standard cost. When a shop order is supplying multiple DOP orders, the estimated shop order costs are distributed to the DOP orders based on the quantity it supplies each DOP order with.
• Other DOP orders fetches the estimated costs similar as the standard costs.

Actual Cost

The actual cost represents the costs actually associated with the supply of a DOP order.

• DOP orders supplied from a purchase order fetches the actual purchase costs from the purchase order. If the purchase order line is invoiced then system uses invoiced price, otherwise it takes the price on the purchase order line.
• DOP orders supplied from a shop order fetched the actual manufacturing costs from the shop order.
• DOP orders netted from an excess DOP order fetches the actual costs from the source DOP order.
• DOP orders netted from inventory fetches the standard cost of the parts.

When a shop/purchase order is supplying multiple DOP orders, the actual costs are distributed to the DOP orders based on the quantity complete reported to each DOP order. If no quantity has been reported as complete, the distribution will be based on the expected supply quantity to each DOP order.
