Interfaces to Other Modules

The material cost elements and product structure relationships that are used by Product Costing are specified in the Design Engineering module.  The labor and machine standards that are used to calculate labor and burden costs in Product Costing are defined in Manufacturing Engineering.  Both Design Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering must be installed before Product Costing can be installed.  However, an optional feature in the Design Engineering module allows you to enter labor and burden costs directly for a part.  This feature eliminates the need to install Manufacturing Engineering.
