BOM calculations use a pending cost record that has the nearest from-date that is on or before the calculation date. A future calculation date determines how pending cost records are used.

The calculation date or site can be mandated by the costing version, or user-specified values can be set when the date or site isn't mandated in the costing version.

However, you can override the default value.

By default, the calculation quantity is set to the item's standard order quantity.

However, you can override the default values with approved versions.

By default, the BOM version and route version are set to the active versions for the item, site, date, and calculation quantity.

The costing version, BOM version, route version, calculation quantity, calculation date, and site must be specified. The Calculations page inherits the item identifier.

To calculate costs for a single manufactured item, you initiate BOM calculations from the Item price page.

The Calculations page can be opened for a single manufactured item or for a costing version: The calculation record includes a calculated cost and a calculated sales price. Instead, it generates a calculation record that appears on the BOM calculation details page. An order-specific BOM calculation doesn't generate an item cost record within a costing version. These calculations are known as order-specific BOM calculations. Note: A variation of the Calculations page is used in the context of a sales order, sales quotation, or service order line item. The way that you use the Calculations page also depends on whether the BOM calculations involve a costing version for standard costs or planned costs, and on several policies that are defined in the costing version that is used in the BOM calculations.

The way that you use the Calculations page varies slightly, depending on how you initiate the BOM calculations. Calculate the sales price of a manufactured item, and generate an associated item sales price record within a costing version.

Calculate the cost of a manufactured item, and generate an associated item cost record within a costing version.You use the Calculations page to perform the following tasks: The cost roll-up and sales price calculations are known as bill of materials (BOM) calculations, and you initiate them from the Calculations page. This article provides information about BOM calculations.
