Additional costs

Additional costs are additional process costs related to manufacturing. The costs are not included in the manufacturing of a component, but are assigned to the component by creating allocations. For example for:

  • Development and engineering
  • Testing methods
  • Prototyping
  • Packaging costs
  • Administration costs

Additional costs can be allocated to external cost objects using a specified key.

The FACTON settings allow you to choose whether to calculate additional costs on parts and/or operations.

Additional costs can only be created, linked and edited in Data Administration.
