Costing Scheme

FACTON Should Costing distinguishes between two basic cost types: Costs that can be directly assigned to a calculation element (direct costs) and costs that are incurred during production but are not directly tied to a product (overheads).

Further costs can be included in the calculation using additional cost definitions (total lines) on the basis of predefined cost types. These costs are calculated by means of additional total lines per part and/or per product. The total can be calculated either by adding the existing values or by entering a calculation formula. In addition, surcharge rates, such as overhead rates can be added to all cost elements. Additional overhead rates can also be defined for total lines.

The FACTON product costing scheme consolidates all cost types required in total to calculate the complete costing. Costs can be incurred in a project in various ways.
