Configuration Costing
Configuration Costing
Configuration costing allows you to generate a unique cost for each configuration code and to value inventory and inventory activity based on the configured cost. The way you wish to use configuration codes is specified on the Part Master File (DE100M) in the Configuration Code Option field. Valid Configuration Code Options are displayed below. Refer to the Inventory Accounting User Manual for information on other costing types.

Configuration Code Options
With option 0, a part's costs are calculated in the Product Costing Module.
With options 1 and 2, configuration codes are used to view inventory but are not used for costing. All of the part's costs are calculated in the Product Costing Module. The difference between options 1 and 2 is how lot control is performed. "True" lot control is performed only with option 2, because a new lot number is created each time inventory is created.
With options 3 and 4, costs are calculated by the Expert Configurator using configuration costing. The difference between the options is how lot control is performed. "True" lot control is performed only with option 4, because a new lot number is created each time inventory is created.
