Costing for Items containing formula and co-product items

Hello,

I have a formula item (SFSDPG01-59) that has a co-product (SFFDPG01-59). From a costing perspective the co-product item is 25% of the total cost.

Both of them are part of the BOM for SFMADPG01-59.

This is the BOM screen shot for SFMADPG01-59

When I calculate the costing for item SFMADPG01-59, AX is exploding the DBA for SFSDPG01-59 (the formula item) and costing it fully (100%) instead

of costing it at 75% as it should be, then is costing SFFDPG01-59 (the formula item) correctly at 25%. This result as an overstated costing.

Why is that?

Hi Sjoe,

Can we get a screenshot of the Formula for item SFSDPG01-59, and a screenshot of the Co-products form for that Formula?

RE: Costing for Items containing formula and co-product items

Hello,

I'm attaching what requested. In the meantime I found a way to overcome the problem reported. When I cost a product (Released product - Manage Cost - Item Price - Pending Price - New - Calculation) there is a pull-down window called Explosion mode that contains 4 possible selection (Multilevel, Make to order, Single level, According to BOM Type). When I use Multilevel the costing behave like explained in this chat. If I use According to BOM type I have the expected behaviour. Where can I find the explanation of the 4 possible selection?

Here the screen shot of Formula

and the one for the co-product

Hi Sjoe,

This is all the documentation I can find. It is old, but the functionality has not changed.

Dolores
