Special tab

This tab is used to define cost rates, cost types, and cost allocation types for additional costs.

"Assignments" group:

Option
Manufacturing Processes	Multiple manufacturing processes can be added and multiple ones can be actively assigned. If a process is assigned in a project, a prompt will be displayed asking whether the linked additional costs should be applied.
Cost models	Only one cost model can be linked and actively assigned.

"Process Costs" group:

Entry field
Cost rate	Enter the cost rate value. The first entry field is used to enter the total costs (including variable costs). The variable costs are entered in the second entry field.
Checkbox
Cash flow not equal to project allocation	Activate this checkbox to specify that the cashflow is not identical to the project allocation - as a preset for use in projects.

"Cost Type" group

Option
One-time costs	When this option is selected, the additional costs are only incurred and included once in the calculation. Entering the "Number of Elements" is possible.
Annual costs	When this option is selected, the additional costs are only incurred and included annually in the calculation. Entering the "Number of Elements" is possible.
Unit costs	This option enables you to calculate resources. The costs of the additional costs are incurred and included in the calculation for the quantity entered. The number of additional costs (e.g. resources) is calculated as follows: Entering the "Number of Elements" is not possible.
Entry field
Number	Shows how often the costs are included in the additional costs.

"Cost Allocation" group

Option
No allocation	When selected, additional costs are not allocated.
Total quantity	When selected, the additional costs are allocated to the total quantity.
Annual quantity	When selected, the additional costs are allocated to the annual quantity.
To the first ... piece	Selecting this option allows you to enter a quantity the additional costs can be allocated to - beginning with the SOP.
To the first ... a	Selecting this option allows you to enter the years the additional costs can be allocated to - beginning with the SOP.
After ... piece	Selecting this option allows you to enter a quantity. Once this quantity is reached, the additional costs are allocated to the remaining quantity.
After ... a	Selecting this option enables you to enter the number of years of production planning after which the additional costs are allocated to the remaining quantity.
Entry field
Internal	The internal rate indicates how much % belong to the additional costs of the supplier. Entering the internal rate influences the calculation of the external rate and vice versa. Example The internal rate is 0, if a tool is directly paid by the customer and will therefore be the customer's property. In that case, the additional costs are not depreciated via the part price but need to be directly depreciated (relevant for investment calculation).
External	The external rate is the counterpart to the internal rate (1 - Internal).

"Interest Calculation" group

Checkbox
Use capital return	Activate the checkbox to automatically use this exchange rate table when creating a costing type. Relevant entries for the interest calculation are possible.
Use duration of project	Activate this checkbox to use the project duration of the project location in which the additional costs are added. Deactivate the checkbox if you wish to enter the interest period manually.
Use interest rate on capital of the project location	Activate this checkbox to use the interest rate on capital of the project location in which the additional costs are added. Deactivate the checkbox if you wish to enter the interest rate on capital manually.
