Defining Subelements
You can define the following subelements in Cost Management:
- Defining Material Subelements
- Defining Overhead
- Defining Material Overhead Defaults
- You can define Resource subelements in Oracle Bills of Material
Material subelements classify material costs, such as plastic or metal. A material subelement has a default activity and a default basis type assigned to it.
1. In the Defaults tabbed region, enter a material subelement name.
2. Select the default activity. This activity is defaulted each time the subelement is used to define an item cost.
3. Select the default basis for the material subelement. This basis type is defaulted when you define item costs. Basis is the method used to determine how to charge a transaction or apply product costs. The options are as follows:
Item: Used for all subelements. For material and material overhead subelements, you charge a fixed amount per item. This is the default.
Lot: Used for all cost elements. The item cost is calculated by dividing the order cost by the lot size.
4. Optionally, select a date on which to inactivate the material subelement.
