Cost Calculation, Roll-up, Cost Price Charges

Hi,

When performing cost calculation in the Product information module, Released products >Manage cost >Item price >Calculation >"Calculation for an item" form, the Incl. in unit price checkbox is selected and grayed out. It's also selected and grayed out on the Costing version setup form. We believe that this causes process setup time/cost double roll up in our inventory. I did some testing and here are two different scenarios:

Process cost $0.35, setup cost $0.02 (setup specified within route operation), cost calculation generates cost $0.35 + $0.02 = $0.37 and price charge $0.02. When I look at inventory, it values at $0.37 + $0.02 = $0.39. AX adds the price charge that comes from the setup again to the cost. This is the problem of setup "double roll-up".
When I remove setup time from route from route operation or assign some $0 resource, the cost becomes $0.35 + $0.00 = $0.35. Inventory is valued at $0.35.

The question is would the disabled "Incl. in unit price" checkbox eliminate "double roll-up" of the setup cost? If yes, how do I go about changing it. If not, how else could I eliminate "double roll-up"?
