Defining Cost Analysis Codes

An individual component cost identified by a particular cost component class can be further broken down using cost analysis codes for more granular tracking of costs. The cost analysis codes are used to group component costs from multiple cost component class types to provide an alternate view of the total cost. For example, you can define direct or indirect analysis codes for each cost component. 

Consider the following example:
  • Item: ABC 
  • Inventory organization: A 
  • Cost Calendar/Period: June, 2001
ComponentAnalysisValue
MATERIALDIR$18.765948788
LABORDIR$22.150682432
INDIRECT EXPENSEIND$13.502400000
PACKAGINGDIR$ 5.765980654
Total Item Costn/a$60.185011874
DIR = Direct CostsIND = Indirect Costs

As shown in the example, you can assign the same analysis code to multiple cost components.


Defining Cost Analysis Code

  • Navigate to the Cost Analysis Code window. 
  • Enter the Code to identify the cost analysis type. For example, DIR for Direct Costs, or IND for Indirect Costs. Required. 
  • Enter a Description for the analysis code. For example, enter Value Added or Non-value Added. Required.
