Parts that were once one-time parts may become standard products over time. Run the Copy production calculation to part calculation process to copy the calculation of such a production file to the Parts module.
Considerations when using this feature:
You can only copy to existing parts, which means you have to add the new part in the Parts module first.
The process will only copy the file specified, and not any underlying production files present. To copy multiple levels, you need to re-run this process for each level.
Whereas a production file may have different origins, a part can have only one origin. The copy selection therefore allows you to specify whether origins are to be split up:
If you select the Split origins check box, a separate, origin-specific part line is created for the part.
If you leave the Split origins check box empty, all quantities will be merged into a single part line, which will have the default order code for the part, as set in the Parts module.
Also consider the following:
The price origins in the production file are not used.
The ratio of the quantity specified in the production file and the quantity specified for the part is copied to the part calculation (after the relevant factor has been applied to it).
For revision management purposes, the 'Active from' date is copied from the last revision, and the 'Active to' date is filled with the value '31/12/9999'.
When creating multiple part lines, any fixed costs are added up and assigned to the lines that have been created. In this process, the following priorities are used:
The part type and the order code of the target part are not relevant.
If the production file contains any links (for example, parts or equipment linked to operations), you cannot copy just parts or equipment. You can copy just operations, however.
