Do you have any question about this SAP term?
Component: PLM-PLC
Component Name: Product Lifecycle Costing
Description: An attribute that determines how the total quantity for an item is calculated in a costing structure. If an item depends on assembly quantity, the calculation of the total quantity for the item is based on the total quantity of the assembly that the item belongs to in the costing structure. If an item is not dependent on assembly quantity, the quantity for one assembly is the same as the total quantity.
Key Concepts: Dependent on assembly quantity is a feature of SAP Product Lifecycle Costing (PLM-PLC) that allows users to calculate the cost of a product based on the number of components used in its assembly. This feature allows users to accurately estimate the cost of a product before it is manufactured, allowing them to make informed decisions about production costs. How to use it: To use this feature, users must first enter the number of components used in the assembly of the product. This information can be found in the product's bill of materials. Once this information is entered, the system will calculate the cost of the product based on the number of components used. The user can then adjust the cost based on any additional costs associated with production, such as labor or materials. Tips & Tricks: When using this feature, it is important to ensure that all components are accounted for in the calculation. If any components are missing, it could lead to inaccurate cost estimates and incorrect decisions about production costs. Additionally, it is important to consider any additional costs associated with production, such as labor or materials, as these can significantly affect the overall cost of a product. Related Information: This feature is part of SAP's Product Lifecycle Costing (PLM-PLC) module, which provides users with a comprehensive view of their product's lifecycle costs. Additionally, this feature can be used in conjunction with other features in PLM-PLC, such as cost estimation and budgeting, to provide users with an accurate picture of their product's total cost.
