If we have minimum one line with Work type, we need to set Price Analyses for this work. We can do that with Price Analyses command. System will open new specific page with top lines and bottom lines. Top lines present normative lines and bottom lines represent planned consumption for each line.
For each top line with Work type, we must to configure consumption. Consumption represent resource and/or item consumption. When we set item and choose ‘Cost’ as Cost Source, we will get actual cost for this item. If item is material, cost is Actual Cost with all charges, and if item is finish-good we get actual cost from automatic Cost Accounting (see my old posts about Mfg. Cost Accounting). If we choose resource, we will get Actual Cost of resource (see my old posts about Resource Cost Accounting). We can use Work Type Code for resource (different unit of measures or specific works) also and system will use Actual Cost for this Work Type. We have ‘Inside Costs’ also and these represent Unit Price for resources and items. We have not use that, but this is additional possibility. System will recalculate costs and add them to the top lines.
We can use different Cost Sources, but about that in next post. This post describe only simplicity of configured normatives using really actual costs of resources and items in different modes.
If we use non-Work type of normative lines, we cannot configure this. If we use subcontractors, we need to put direct subcontractor cost. If we use (sub)normatives, cost already configured on used (sub)normatives.
