Costing Dimension

Use this field to link this work center with your financial accounting. The costing dimension provides financial information on which the calculation of the provisional costs, and the production cost price are based.

This long description is used as a title in screens and reports.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

• Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
• In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

Select an overhead code.

Overhead codes are used as follows:

• To value selected stock movement types.
  The column that defines the formula or fixed rate to be used for the calculation is defined by the OVECOLSTK - Stock overhead column parameter (STO chapter, VAL group).
• To determine the cost price or the production cost price calculation.
  Selected functions use the overhead code for the following:
• To value work center overheads associated with the valuation dimension.
• To value overheads for materials or semi-finished products.

The overheads column that contains the formula or fixed rate to be used in the cost price calculation functions is defined by parameters. For standard cost calculations the OVECOLSTD - Standard calc overhead column parameter (GPA chapter, COS group) applies.

You can modify the column to be applied before running the calculation.

Cost calculations are used to break down work center costs.

You can define the number of family cost groups available using activity codes MAC - Number of machine groups and LAB - Number of labor groups. For example, you can define an 'Assembly' subtotal, a 'Manufacturing' subtotal and a 'Control' subtotal in which to distribute work center costs.

Use this field to specify the accounting code of the site.
The accounting code is a default value used in the setting up of accounting entries.
It refers to a table that lists a certain amount of elements (collective accounts, accounts or parts of accounts) that can be used for the determination of the documents that will be posted.

The rate type can be:

• unitary
  
• contractual
  If the rate type is unitary, the cost of the work center is proportional to time spent.
  If it is contractual, the cost is independent from time spent.
  

Standard hourly rate used to value the setting time in the standard cost calculations.

Standard hourly rate used to value the running time in the standard cost calculations.

Updated hourly rate used to value the setting time in the updated standard cost calculations.

Updated hourly rate used to value the operation time in the updated standard cost calculations.

Budget hourly rate used to value the setting time in the budget cost calculations.

Budget hourly rate used to value the operation time in the budget cost calculations.

Simulation hourly rate used to value the setting time in the simulated cost calculations.

Simulation hourly rate used to value the running time in the simulated cost calculations.

The setup determines if the analytical dimensions can be modified. They are initialized based on the setup of the default dimension.

In creation mode, if no order line has been entered and the project code is modified, the analytical dimensions are reset based on the setup of default dimensions.

In creation mode, as in modification mode, if an order line is entered and the project code is modified, the analytical dimensions are not reset.
