Verify BoM Structure

After defining resources and their properties and localizing signatures, we want to verify the generated BoM structure of the table using the »Complete Structure« feature in the FACTON CMD Test Client.

Note

While the cost model is running, you are still able to work in the FACTON CMD to directly compare your definitions with the actual behavior in the FACTON CMD Test Client, and possibly correct them in the CMD.

Run cost model

  • In the ribbon ► START, click on Run to save all changes and verify the cost model.

    • Alternative: F6

    All changes are automatically saved when running. The FACTON client opens.

    You can still make changes in FACTON CMD.

 

Create calculation with cost model

  1. In the ribbon, click on Calculations to open the calculations workspace.
  2. In the ribbon ► MANAGE, click on »Project«.

    A tab with the project calculation opens.

  3. In the ribbon ► EDIT, click on »Product«.

    A product is inserted under the project. The Details view of the product is shown.

  4. In the Details view of the product, select the »TableModel« as »Cost Model« from the combobox.

    The »TableModel« is available for the product.

 

 

FACTON enables you to complete the following structure based on your input.

Complete BoM structure

  • In the Structure view, right-click on the Project or Product ► Complete Structure.

    • Alternative: F11 in the Structure view or Details view.

    The FACTON CMD Test Client generates the designed structure below.

 

The BoM structure is generated and available in the Structure view. The resources are all localized as follows:

  • All resources (parts and materials) are created as local resources and are localized.
  • Relevant quantity of »Legs« is »4.00 pc/pc«, based on the assumption that most of the tables have four legs.
  • Direct material cost (DMatC) of »Legs is »11.55 EUR/pc« as an initially defined value for one table leg.
  • Production cost (ProdC) of »Legs« is allocated like this: DMatC of Material of Table Leg * Relevant Qty. of Legs.

 

Stop FACTON CMD Test Client

WARNING

Save and publish all changes in the FACTON CMD Test Client BEFORE restoring a version.

  • In the FACTON CMD ► ribbon START, click on Stop to stop the processes.
