Overview

What is Dynapro Item Sales Price Calculator?

Dynapro Item Sales Price Calculator lets you build a detailed cost estimate for a manufactured item and derive a recommended sales price from it — before the item is ever produced or sold. It's a quoting and cost-estimation tool for made-to-order or configure-to-order items: "what will this item cost me, and what should I sell it for?"

A calculation combines three types of cost:

  • Material — auto-populated from the item's Production BOM, exploded recursively through sub-BOMs.
  • Work/Routing — auto-populated from the item's certified Routing (setup/run/wait/move time × work/machine center rates, or a flat subcontracted price).
  • Additional — manually entered costs such as freight, packaging, or other surcharges.

These sum to a Total Cost, from which a Sales Price is derived using a Calculation Factor.

  1. Create a calculation for an item that has a Production BOM, and set the order quantity.
  2. Material and Work lines are generated automatically from the item's current BOM and Routing.
  3. Add Additional cost lines manually for freight, packaging, or other surcharges.
  4. Set the sales price, either by entering a Calculation Factor or a Sales Price directly.
  5. Lock the calculation once it's final, to prevent further edits.
  6. Transfer the price to a sales quote or order line.
  7. If a production order is created from that sales order, the calculation's cost/routing data can flow into it — see Production Order Integration.
  8. Print a formal calculation document at any point.
