Costs

Create a Part Cost

Costs are created:

The Cost page of the part, accessed on the Part Category Tree.
Flat BOM tab of the EBOM PowerView, accessed on the Part Category Tree.
See View Part Costs.

The Cost Analyst ENOVIA system role is required to create a cost.

Call the PLM Support Hotline to request additional ENOVIA roles.

Multiple costs may be created or updated at once using the Cost Import Template.

To create a cost:

On the part Cost page, click on the page tool bar and select Create New. . . .

On the EBOM PowerView, Flat BOM tab, View: Costs, right click on the parent or any child part in the BOM and select Create Cost on the pop up, context menu.

The part: Create Part Cost window displays.

Enter the following details:

Cost Attribute fields	Description
Description	Enter a description of this cost.
Cost Provider	The default is Lexmark. If the cost comes from a source outside of Lexmark, click to search for and select a supplier / partner / contract manufacturer / vendor.
Location/Subsupplier	This field is mainly used to assign a Cost Family to identify costs by project. Parts may be used across multiple projects. Different projects may create their own estimates or get different part costs from a single Cost Provider as a result of varying quantities, or fluctuating material and labor costs. The use of Cost Family in the Location/Subsupplier field identifies costs that were created for a specific project and that should only be rolled up, modified, or revised by that project. If your project requires different costs for different locations or subsuppliers of a Cost Provider, contact the PLM Support Hotline.
Location Type	If this is the first part cost, choose Default. A part can only have one Default cost location. All other cost locations for that part must be Alternate.
Cost Value Type	The type is an identifying cost attribute: Target Estimate Quoted Working Actual A cost of a particular type may be revised. For a different type, create a new cost. See Cost Value Types more information.
Production Make Buy Code	Select how the part is procured: Make: The part is made or assembled for Lexmark. Buy: The part is purchased or procured complete (sets ICIR, below, to No).
Include Children in Rollup	Often called ICIR. Determine if the costs of BOM children are summed into the part cost: Yes No When Production Make Buy Code = Buy, ICIR automatically sets to No. Different costs for the same part may have different ICIR settings. For example, a subassembly may be ICIR = Yes on the cost relative to the supplier who builds it. But when that subassembly is rolled up into the cost of a printer at another supplier, the ICIR might be No.
Item Material Cost	Set to raw material cost for Make Set to finished product cost for Buy
