ES-H  Enter Material Costs

Purpose of Program

Use this program to enter material costs for components that will be used within estimates.  You may enter up to five quantities and costs to reflect quantity price breaks.

If there is no record entered in this file for a component, the estimate entry program will use the inventory Total Standard Cost defined in IN-L-A  Enter Standard Costs.

General Program Operation

Enter the Item number of the material item to be costed.  This file will normally be used only for items coded with an inventory type code of R (regular), which is for purchased parts, or types L and T, for labor and outside processing, if you are defining these as item numbers and including them in the bills of material rather than within routings.

Enter each quantity and its corresponding cost.  The first cost field represents the cost from a quantity of zero through the first quantity specified.  If there is only one price, regardless of quantity, enter a quantity of 1.00 and only one cost.  Continue making entries or press <Enter>  through the unused fields.

When completed, the program will insert today's system date in the Last Update field as a reference for the next time you view or print the material cost file.
