Open the BOM Cost Share Distribution window.

Shows graphically how an assembled or produced item’s cost is distributed through its BOM.

The report can help to identify, for example, the following:

Such information can be useful in deciding, for example, whether to change component suppliers, replace internal capacity usage with outsourced labor or vice versa or when reviewing and modifying an item’s bill of material.

The first chart in the report shows the total unit cost of the parent item’s components and labor resources broken down in up to five different cost shares, and represented graphically with different colors. It is sorted in descending order.

The pie chart labeled By Material/Labor shows the proportional distribution between the parent item’s material and labor costs, as well as its own manufacturing overhead. The material cost share includes the item’s material costs. The labor cost share includes capacity, capacity overhead and subcontracted costs. The cost shares are displayed differently depending on the option that you select in the Show only field.

The pie chart labeled By Direct/Indirect shows the proportional distribution between the parent item’s direct and indirect costs. The direct cost share includes the item’s material, capacity, and subcontracted costs. The indirect cost share includes capacity overhead and manufacturing overhead.

The table at the bottom of the report is included when you select the Include Details check box. It shows selected values from the BOM Cost Shares window by single level or rolled up, depending on the option that you choose in the Show Cost Shares as field.
