Use this field to specify how the part is to be obtained, or in other words, the origin of the part. Initially, the order code of the part determines the origin type. For example, the order code 'Purchase to order' is translated into the origin type 'Distributed origins', and the quantity is then entered in the Purchase field.

You can modify the origin type:

Copy calculation (phantom):	Use the order code 'Copy calculation (phantom)' to merge any underlying calculations into one calculation. The calculation will then include a phantom line that shows the semi-finished product for which the underlying calculation components are intended. All part lines, operation lines, equipment lines, and external operation lines referring to the semi-finished product will contain a reference to the phantom line. Use the Show phantom option to specify whether the phantom line should be displayed on the form.
From customer:	Use this setting to indicate that the part is supplied by the customer (who has ordered the finished product in which it will be included).
Distributed origins:	If you choose this option, use the Stock, Purchase, and Production fields in the Distributed origins section to specify the origins of the part and the quantities obtained from those origins.

Example

If the finished product of the production file is a cabinet, the cabinet shelves may be a component of the calculation. The origin type will then indicate the origin of these shelves:

• They may be produced by you as part of the current production file (they are sawn to size).
• They may be supplied by the customer.
• In case of distributed origins, the shelves may be taken from stock, originate from production in another production file, or purchased from another party. Also a combination of these options is possible.

This is the number of pieces of the part you need in order to make the finished product.

Note: When building the calculation, you should take into account the quantity that needs to be created for the production file (see the Quantity field on the General tab of the production file). For example, if the quantity ordered is '10 pieces', fill in the quantity required to produce ten parts.

Specify the length, width, and/or height per piece. Whether or not you can fill in one or more of these fields depends on the setting of the Unit code field on the General tab of the Parts form:

Unit code	Can a length be filled in?	Can a width be filled in?	Can a height be filled in?
Quantity	No	No	No
Quantity * Length	Yes	No	No
Quantity * Length * Width	Yes	Yes	No
Quantity * Length * Width * Height	Yes	Yes	Yes

The number in this field is calculated automatically by multiplying the quantity, the length, the width, and the height. The value of this informational field cannot be modified directly.

Note: If the Show costs including waste check box was selected from the Settings menu, the value in this field is including any waste. If the check box is not selected, the waste will not be taken into account.

The weight and surface area of the parts can be displayed only if the weight or surface area has been specified for the part on the General tab in the Parts module.

Note: If the Show costs including waste check box was selected from the Settings menu, the values in these fields are including any waste. If the check box is not selected, the waste will not be taken into account.

Use this field to specify how the supplier is to supply the part to you, for example 'Painted' or 'Blasted'. The rate you have specified for the conservation is included in the cost price of the production part.

If the origin type of this part is 'Distributed origins', fill in the quantities to be obtained from each of the origins in these fields. It is possible to enter a combination of origins, so you could have 10 units with a 'Stock' origin, 5 units with a 'Production' origin, and 25 units with a 'Purchase' origin.

If you enter a quantity in the Production field, you can choose to immediately create a production file for the parts to be produced.

This is the waste percentage taken into consideration in the calculation. The waste percentage is taken into account in the calculation of the quantity, the weight, and the surface area (General tab), and in the variable costs.

Use this field to specify the calculation price to be used:

Part calculation price:	The net calculation price listed for this part on the Calculation/production tab of the Parts form
Custom price:	The price you enter in the Custom price field.

Use this field to specify the price to be used when you purchase the part:

Part calculation price:	The net calculation price listed for this part on the Calculation/production tab of the Parts form
Part purchase price:	The net purchase price specified for this part on the Purchase tab of the Parts form.
Custom price:	The price you enter in the Custom price field.

If the part calculation contains parts originating from production, there are two possibilities:

• No underlying production file has been linked to the part line yet.
• An underlying production file has already been linked to the part line.

If no underlying production file has been linked to the part line, you can still determine the calculation price yourself by using the Price origin field.

Part calculation price:	The net calculation price listed for this part on the Calculation/production tab of the Parts form
Custom price:	The price you enter in the Custom price field
Production file calculation price:	As long as no production file is known, the 'Production file calculation price' field is set to '0'.

If the part line is linked to an underlying production file, the price origin is always 'Production file calculation price'. The calculation price of the underlying production file is displayed in the relevant file settings on the Production files form (PR Cost price tab, Total field, Total costs column).

These fields allow you to enter three different fixed-cost sums, such as 'Warehouse costs' or 'Administration charges'. These sums will be added to the total variable part costs once.

The calculation price and the purchase price are retrieved from the part details specified in the Parts module (Calculation/production and Purchase tabs). These prices are displayed for informational purposes; they can be changed only in the Parts module.

Note: In addition to the 'Calculation price per' and the 'Purchase price per', also any surcharges or discounts will be taken into account. The field to the right of the equals sign (=) displays the net calculation or purchase price. This net price is the price used for calculation or purchasing purposes, unless a custom price was chosen.

Fill in a custom price if you do not want to use the calculation or purchase price. Depending on the values of the fields in the Price origins section, this custom price may or may not be used as the stock price and/or purchase price.

To use the custom price on the purchase requirement, rather than the purchase price, select the Use custom price on purchase requirement check box.

The custom price is used on a purchase requirement only if:

- The Use custom price on purchase requirement check box is selected, AND

- The Price origins field is set to 'Custom price'.

This field shows the calculated total costs of the calculation line, including any fixed costs. The price used is shown in the Price origins section.

Note: If the Show costs including waste check box was selected from the Settings menu, the value in this field is including any waste. If the check box is not selected, the waste will not be taken into account.
