What is the Difference between Price Calculation (Production form) & BOM Calculation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Recently I found few difference between Price Calculation and BOM calculation. We have multilevel BOM for production. For Example, Item A is the Parent level BOM and it contains Level 4 BOMs

When i tried BOM calculation for QTY 1, system works fine and picks the correct prices from Trade agreement. BTW, Trade agreement here is defined with 3 --4 ranges like 0 to 5  Price X, 5-10 Price Y and so on

But the same is not happening when i tried to produce more than 1, system is till picking up the first line of trade agreement for the level 1 SUB Bom items whereas system should have  picked up the correct trade agreement prices. For example, if my production qty is 12, system should have gone for the correct trade agreement prices. Still stem is showing the source of prices as trade agreement.

One more thing i want to add here is that sum boms at level 1, 2 & 3 are marked as phantom and i don't think this will affect my calculation.

The strange thing happened when i tied to create work order and did the estimation, the price calculation was showing it accurately with correct agreement prices.

I also tried to remove phantom, and replace it with pegged supply, it worked fine in BOM calculation.

I am not sure how system reacts with Pegged supply and phantom in BOM calculation. What is the difference between BOM calculation & Price Calculation

Awaiting possible explanation

    Shooting from the hip here, but as I understand it is that when estimating BOM will explode your phantoms and treat each level as first level after that. I do not think that will then find correct prices for multiple trade agreements, but only check for current cost price.

    Price calculation is more advanced and does check for multiple trade agreements.

    Thanks Fredrik for your reply.  Based on some other information, I have used " Make to Order" explosion mode and it seems working fine with phantom items.

    Basically this mode helps the system to explode the complete tree considering it as a new order and avoiding the standard order quantity assigned to the individual item.

    I believe this is the right explanation. If you have any insight on this, please reply.
