Burden Cost Maintenance

Purpose

Create changes to product/location burden cost in advance of their effectivity.
Mass update product/location burden costs by effective date.

Overview

Use Burden Cost Maintenance to facilitate pricing timing. If price matrix records are set up as a multiplier of product/location burden cost, it is not always practical to directly enter all of the new burden costs in Product Location Maintenance on the date that these costs and prices become effective. This program allows you to enter new burden costs prior to an effective date, then update them on the effective date.

$Images\warning.gif$ If you are using this method to change burden costs, you should avoid updating burden cost directly in Product Location Maintenance , except when setting up a new product.

Burden cost change information is stored in the oe-na-change table.

Creating New Burden Cost Changes

To create burden cost changes:

Select the location, supplier, categories, subcategories and products that are getting burden cost changes. You can create burden cost changes as a percentage change from the existing burden cost (if doing a group of products), or create a specific burden cost if selecting a specific product.
Enter the future effective date in the Effective Date field.
Click the Create button in the ribbon. Burden cost changes that have not been implemented up to the date entered in the Show Records As of field display on the Results tab.
For quick editing, you can change the amounts and dates in the New Amount and Effective Date columns.

Mass Updating of Burden Costs on Product/Location

To mass update previously-created burden cost changes:

Enter the effective date in the Show Records As of field.
Click the Show Data button in the ribbon. All burden cost changes that will be implemented display on the Results tab.
Click the Update Burden Cost button in the ribbon to implement (i.e., update all relevant product location records).
