This is the number of components on which the external operation has to be performed.

This is the rate which the supplier charges for this operation. The price unit (for example 'per piece' or 'per 100 kg') will automatically appear to the right of the Price field. The price unit is retrieved from the External operations file.

Note: This field can be changed only if the Use standard prices/Use standard values check box is not selected.

This field can be filled in only if the unit code is set to 'Number of pieces * Number of units per piece' in the outsourcing settings on the External operations form. This field is related to the Quantity field. These two fields allow you to specify the following:

• The number of pieces you will have worked
• The number of units included in a component to be worked

Example

Quantity	*	Number of units per piece
10 boxes	of	5 pieces
5 sheets	of	3 m2
80 fences	of	5 kg
30 pieces	of	1 m

These are the fixed costs the supplier charges for performing the operation, such as 'Administrative charges'. Setup/adjustment costs are irrespective of the number components worked; for each outsourcing job, they are charged only once.

Note: This field can be changed only if the Use standard prices/Use standard values check box is not selected.

This field contains the surcharge percentage used for this outsourcing job. The surcharge sum is calculated on the total operation costs including setup and adjustment costs, and therefore on the variable costs and the fixed costs.

Note: This field can be changed only if the Use standard prices/Use standard values check box is not selected.

This is an informational field that cannot be modified. The commercial cost price is calculated by adding up the variable costs, the fixed costs (setup and adjustment costs), and the surcharge sum.

Use this field to indicate whether the standard rates registered in the External operations file for this outsourcing job are to be used for the calculations.

If the Use standard values check box is selected, the following happens:

• The Price, Setup/adjustment costs, and Cost price surcharge fields are filled with the standard rates registered for this outsourcing job in the External operations file.
• The Price, Setup/adjustment costs, and Cost price surcharge fields are locked, to prevent the values from being changed.

If the Use standard values check box is not selected, you can manually enter a price, the setup/adjustment costs, and a surcharge.
