Configuration Cost Rollup and Regeneration - Purpose
EC180E
The Configuration Cost Rollup and Regeneration program (EC180E) will generate the cost of the configured bill of material during manufacturing configuration. It is called from the Manufacturing Configuration program (EC200E). It can also regenerate configured costs if you request cost regeneration from the Configuration Cost Regeneration Request program (EC320E). It processes the option records in reverse order in order to start at the lowest point in the configured bill of material. Component and labor requirements are retrieved for each option record and the associated costs are calculated. If the Allow New Cost Field for the Part/Configuration Code combination is set to Yes, the Configuration Cost file (EC140M) is updated with the new costs. Once calculated, the total cost is passed to the Manufacturing Configuration program (EC200E).
