Calculate FVPs and calculation prices

Use the Calculate FVPs and calculation prices process to calculate the fixed valuation price and calculation price for all parts containing a calculation, including the calculations in any underlying semi-finished products.

This process starts at the lowest level of a calculation structure (the 'lowest' semi-finished product), and calculates the cost price of the part for each level. This cost price is used as the calculation price for the level above it, after which this level will be calculated, etcetera.

You choose the price data actually registered during this calculation:

• If you have selected the Set calculation price check box on the processing form, the calculated calculation price is filled in, at all levels, in the Calculation price field on the Calculation/production tab of the relevant part.
• If you have selected the Set FVP check box, the calculated calculation price will be filled in in the FVP field on the Financial tab of the part. If you chose to have the FVP modified, a journal entry will be created based on the FVP changes. The FVP registered after the FVP has been calculated is, of course, only relevant to parts you produce for stock purposes, and not for parts you produce to order.

On the processing form, you indicate whether purchase parts with calculation lines are to be calculated, and whether the calculation price and the FVP of production parts without calculation lines is to be reset to zero.

It is not possible to specify a selection of parts for this process. The calculation is therefore always made for all parts and all levels existing in the Parts module. As calculation structures can be intricately linked, it is impossible to exclude particular parts from the calculation.

Note: The Calculate FVPs and calculation prices process does not apply to parts for which the stock valuation method is 'Average purchase price' (APP).

Note: You are recommended to test this process in a test database. Because all parts existing in the Parts module are actually calculated, the process may have far-reaching consequences.

Note: Contributions, if used, will be taken into account in the calculation of the cost prices.
