Hello !

   My client produces custom unit and the components used will be fairly new and would not have purchased it earlier. So there is no history or the costing saved in Acumatica.

They will use Estimation module to estimate for all components and will convert the Estimate to BOM. I was expecting that the unit Cost from estimate will be transferred atleast to the planned cost field in BOM. But it updates to 0 as there is no average cost in the inventory. so when the Production order is created the Planned material cost will be 0. Has anyone run into this situation? Do you have any ideas of how this can be handled?

We have a lot of issues with configurator and purchase costs on the sales order. This idea was submitted to address our issues https://community.acumatica.com/ideas/improve%2Dmargin%2Dcalculation%2Dfor%2Dsales%2Dorders%2Dlines%2D26059

 

For BOM costing, you should be able to run a cost roll (AM508000) to update the BOM Costs. Run the cost roll for all items by not including any filters 

 

We have successfully automated the running of cost rolls through a simple import scenario.
