Calculation Setup
In the Calculation Setup page, general COSMO Calculation settings are defined as well as the required number series.
To set up general Calculation information
- Choose the
icon, enter Calculation Setup, and then choose the related link. - On the Calculation Setup page, fill in or update the fields as described below.
General FastTab
The fields on the General FastTab are described in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Activate Appl. Area | Makes pages and controls visible for COSMO Calculation (see App Activation). The setting in this field in combination with the settings in the Product Configuration Management tool control the Application Areas in standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. For more information, see Product Configuration Management Tool. |
| Price Source for Items | Determines the source of the unit costs for raw materials in the calculation. The value is initialized by the calculation setup and is changeable. Block pricing can be used for the unit cost calculation of raw materials in the calculation. The optional functionality to use the standard purchase pricing is implemented in addition to the usage of unit costs. The options are: - Item Unit Cost: The calculation uses the Unit Cost from the Item Card. - Purchase Pricing: The calculation uses the standard purchase pricing including minimum quantities, and starting and ending dates. The unit cost will be determined by using the vendor number of the current item. If a vendor price is used, the vendor number is transferred to the calculation detail line. Purchase prices in foreign currency are converted to the unit cost in local currency (LCY). |
| Price Source for Capacities | Determines the source of the unit costs for machine centers and work centers in the calculation. The value is initialized by the calculation setup and is changeable. The options are: - Unit Cost: The calculation uses the Unit Cost from the Work Center or Machine Center Card. - Direct Unit Cost: The calculation uses the Direct Unit Cost from the Work Center or Machine Center Card. |
| Price Source for Projects | Determines the source of the unit costs for project components in the calculation. For more information, see Integration of COSMO Calculation. |
| Standard Calc. Schedule No. | Calculation Schedule that will default to all new Item Cards (see Calculation Schedules and Standard Calculation Schedules). |
| Calculation Value Rounding Precision (LCY) | Specifies the size of the interval to be used when rounding calculation values in LCY. Values will be rounded to the nearest digit. For example, to have values rounded to whole numbers, enter 1.00 in this field. In this case, values less than 0.5 will be rounded down and values greater than or equal to 0.5 will be rounded up. On the Currencies page, specify how values in foreign currencies are rounded. NOTE: The setting from the Amount Rounding Precision (LCY) field in the General Ledger Setup page which was previously used for calculation rounding is transferred to this field during upgrade. |
| Calculation Value Decimal Places (LCY) | Specifies the number of decimal places that are shown for calculation values in LCY. The default setting "2:5" specifies that values will be shown with a minimum of two decimal places and a maximum of five decimal places. You can also enter a fixed number, such as 2, to specify that all values are shown with two decimal places. On the Currencies page, specify how many decimal places to show for values in foreign currencies. NOTE: The setting from the Amount Decimal Places (LCY) field in the General Ledger Setup page which was previously used for calculation rounding is transferred to this field during upgrade. |
| Default Concurrent Matrix Column Name | Specifies the default column name for the Concurrent Calculation Matrix (see Concurrent Calculation Matrix). This value is transferred to the concurrent calculation, where it can be changed per concurrent calculation. |
Numbering FastTab
Number series for calculation schedules, calculations, and concurrent calculations must be set up to use the calculation functionality.
