Data Source: PFWTAB

To open the Cost Code Order Creation screen, click a Cost Code or the Need to create a new cost code order? Click here to add link on the Cost Code Order Creation screen.

The Cost Code Order Creation screen allows you to add a new Order Creation cost code or edit an existing Order Creation cost code.

The following fields appear on the Cost Code Order Creation screen:

Field Description
Cost Code The two character code representing the listed cost factors.
Location The branch location associated to the cost code.
Description A brief description of the cost code.
Cost Factor

The cost factor attributed to the corresponding order type. (When the selected order type is applied to an order, this factor will be applied to the Current CostClosed Original cost plus any additions (frieght, pre-delivery, repairs, etc.) less any removals, rental costing. Original cost + all capitalized entries (work orders that hit the inventory account) of the parts on the order to calculate the PO Cost.) For example, if the Cost Factor for Stock Orders is 2.0, whenever a Stock Order is created for a part or vendor to which the selected code has been assigned, the PO Cost of the part will be calculated as follows:

Current Cost x 2.0 = PO Cost of part

In turn, the PO Cost is then used to calculate the Landed Cost of the part. For more specific details, please see the Cost Code Logic topic.

Note:  A default cost code definition will be automatically loaded on your system. In the default, the cost code is blank, and the Cost Factors are all 100%, which means that all parts will be received into inventory at the current cost loaded on the Parts Profile tab.
