Rolling up costs
Lesson 168 of 188 · 14 min
Open the scenario and from Actions select roll up costs. Tick the notify-on-completion option, submit and monitor. Review the result for a purchased item, then a single-level manufactured item, then the multi-level assembly, and show the cost building through the levels. Then show a roll-up that fails or produces a zero cost, and diagnose it. The multi-level roll-up is the payoff of the structures, resources, work definitions and cost structures modules together. Walk it level by level — this is the moment four modules of master data produce a number. Watch for zero costs. A zero-cost component silently understates everything above it. The roll-up is a batch process. On a large item master it takes time. Plan for it in the annual cycle.
