Costing of a non-stocked item in a BOM

[Former Member]

Hi Guru's

We are on ECC 5.0. I am having issues when costing assemblies that consume materials created with Item category 'N - Non-stocked items' in BOM.

As an example, Material A is an assembly that consumes a raw material B that is purchased from a vendor. I don't stock raw material B but as and when required to make material A, I will purchase it from the vendor. So I created the BOM for material A with material B in it as a item category 'N'. I am costing material A and it does not pull all the cost components (i.e raw material costs on material B, freight charge from purchasing material B). All it does is shows up a value with out cost component splits.

But on the flip side, if I create the BOM for material A with material B as a stocked item (Item category L), costing of material A is showing all cost components perfectly.

Is there any configuration that I need to do to retrieve cost components when costing assemblies that contain non-stocked items.

Any input is really helpful.

Thanks,

Check on the BOM item to be sure that "N" is relevant for costing.

We had Non-stock parts that are both make and buy and they cost in CK11n. At least some of the buy parts have no info record

OS13 defines item categories. our "N" looks just like "L" excetp that "L" is desiganted for inventory management

Item category N looks exactly the same as L except for Inventory management not checked.

The BOM item is relevant for costing. The costing relevancy is checked. I don't have a problem costing the assembly. The concern is that is does not break into cost components.

If Item category L is used, the costing of assembly (material A) costs as well as breaks into cost components.

Are you saying that the total value of the cost components is not equal to the cost of the material? the non-stock is missing from the cost components?

Or the non-stock value is not in a separate cost component where you expect it?

I think this will be a clear example:

Material B - Purchased and non stocked. Has a PIR and a vendor. Material cost is $10 and Freight is $1 - Total cost is $11.

Material A (ZSFG) - Consumes Material B. Material B setup as item category N in BOM for material A.

Costing of material A - costs with a price of $11. This $11 is shown in cost component for semifinished which it should not. Instead, it should split $11 to cost components Raw material - $10 and Freight - $1.

For non-stock materials, the system determines the costs from the <b>purchasing data in the BOM item.</b> Have you maintained PIR for this material and vendor?

Yes, PIR is maintained for the vendor. If I cost just the component (material B), it breaks the cost in to cost components. If I cost the assembly (material A), it doesn't beak into cost components.
