*Requesting Cleanup of the following information


This feature has been added as of the Interchange Branch.  Costing happens at several different areas.

Vehicles: Any work order that has a vehicle as its master part (the part that is being modified with labor or having parts consumed towards it) will have its total price attributed to the cost of the vehicle.  When a whole unit is sold, the entire cost of the vehicle is attributed to the part.  Vehicles gain cost from adjustments and purchases on the Purchase Order screen, as well as the Work Order screen.

Parts: Parts that are tied to a vehicle have 0 cost until they are sold and finalized.  The averagecost field may have a value, but any value other than zero is incorrect, and is most likely the artifact of a Pro To Enterprise conversion.  It won't hurt anything.  When a part is sold, the cost it is given is taken from a percentage of the part's price at sale time, and that percentage is determined from the item's GLCategoryID and the percentofprice column in the GLCategory table.  The GLCategory table is based off of a percentage range 0-1.  For example, a percentofprice of 1 means that the entire part's price is counted against vehicle cost, and once the cost of the vehicle has been sold in parts, the rest is counted as pure profit.  If the percentage is 0.5, half the price of the part will be counted against the vehicle, and twice the vehicle's cost in profit must be sold for the vehicle's cost to be absorbed.

Parts that are not tied to a vehicle and are not replenishable are given a cost of $0.00.

Parts that are not tied to a vehicle and are replenishable will have their cost increased based on their purchase price and quantity from the Purchase Order screen, and will have their average cost reduced based on price at time of sale on Sales Orders.

If you have any additional questions, please contact Justin or Dillon, or search the Enterprise wiki for costing.  We'll  be glad to help!
