Data Administration dialog

Data Administration allows you to manage all operational master data required for working in the projects.

Data Administration structure

The Data Administration dialog is divided into two sections:

• The left side shows the tree structure of the master data categories.
• The right side shows different tabs depending on the master data category.

The Data Administration is organized in the following categories:

Category	Description
Basic Data	In this category, you can define the costing scheme with the surcharge rates, the basic data types and the customs duties tariffs.
Origin	This category manages all locations (factories), suppliers, customers, stock exchanges and systems.
Parts	This category manages purchased and standard parts. The prices can be administered with a temporal validity and origin.
Materials	This category manages basic materials, resources and semifinished parts.
Activity type	This category manages activity types. Activity types are required for cost centers.
Cost Centers	In this category, you can manage cost centers with one or more activity types. All tariffs can be edited with a temporal validity and origin.
Shift Models	This category manages all locations (factories), suppliers, customers, stock exchanges and systems. These information are used for machine hourly rate and labor cost calculation.
Employees	In this category, you can administer single labor tariffs location-specifically.
Machines	Use this category to manage machines. Machines will have their calculation context only when they are used in the project.
Work steps	In this category, you can administer work steps that are to be assigned to machines or employees.
Manufacturing Processes	This category is used for managing manufacturing processes. The manufacturing processes are used in the project to develop routings.
Additional costs	In this category, you can define additional costs via cost rates, cost types and allocation types.
Exchange Rates	Use this category to define exchange rate tables and exchange rates. Location-specific, supplier-specific and customer-specific exchange rate tables can be managed in Data Administration. All exchange rates can be edited with a temporal validity.
Value analysis	In this category, you can define criteria and weightings for the value analyses.
Functions	This category is used for managing function trees for the function costs analysis. The individual function costs can be determined in the project via the assignment.
Overhead rates	This category shows the benchmark data of the FACTON content. The data cannot be changed. The selection and transposition happens in the project.
Cost models	This category is used for managing cost models for manufacturing processes and additional costs.
