Hi Guys ,
I am wishing to be able to have the "cost price" of my manufactured items (generated via Manufacture Order) to be calculated as the total "cost price" of each of the bill of materials.
The closest I have found to this solution is by installed the following modules:
- Product Cost incl. BOM
- Product Cost incl. BoM and Price History
- Product Cost field
- Product Price History
These modules get me so close! I now have a new field (called "Cost Price (incl. BoM)") added to the product form above the "Cost price". The value in this field is automatically calculated and updated each time any of the BoM items change their costs via new purchase orders. It also manages the "average cost", which means it is not just updating the Cost of the item with the latest cost, but is averaging the costs which is great!
My only problem is that although the "Cost Price (incl. BoM)" looks perfect... It is not updating the "Cost Price" field which contains the value being used in all of the transactions including the journal created via the Manufacturing order and the customer orders, etc. Therefore I need to somehow update the "Cost Price" each time the "Cost Price (incl. BoM)" field changes! Anybody have any suggestions on the quickest way to do this without needing any coding?
Really appreciate any assistance you can provide!
Thanks,
Damien
I couldn't post it as answer since I don't have 20 karma
need 20 karma. grrrr. stompid rules: Dear Damien, I the past we also did have a similiar problem. Maybe it's option to make a scheduled rule that updates let's say once per day the costprice. Maybe your module also has a manual update function. So when feel the need to update the cost price you could do it manual. maybe it's easier when I see a example of the running instance. Could you contact me, so maybe I could help you beter? just email..
