Material and Additional Cost Lines¶
Overview¶
Material and Additional cost lines are two of the three cost types on a calculation — see Work and Routing Lines for the third.
Material lines¶
The Material subform shows Item-type lines auto-generated from the item's Production BOM (exploded recursively through sub-BOMs). Each line has:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| No. / Description | The component item. |
| Quantity / Unit of Measure | How much of the component is needed. |
| Unit Cost / Line Amount | The component's cost and the resulting line total. |
| Vendor No. | The component's vendor, if relevant. |
| Purchase Status, Purchase Document No./Line No., Purchase Price | Optional links to a purchase requisition or order used to source the material. |
| System Created | Indicates the line was generated automatically rather than entered manually. |
New lines added manually on the Material subform default to Type = Item.
Additional lines¶
The Additional subform uses the same layout, but new lines default to Type = Additional. Use it for manually entered costs that aren't part of the item's BOM or Routing — for example freight, packaging, or other surcharges.
Grouping and sub-totals¶
Lines support Line Type (Heading, Total, Begin-Total, End-Total) and Indentation, letting you group and sub-total cost lines similarly to a standard BOM.
