Cost estimates

In the cost estimation stage, the cost price of a product is determined. The most common cost estimation methods are the following:

• Copy a default calculation of a part from the Parts module to a production file, and change this default calculation as needed.
• Use the calculation of a previous production file as the starting point and change it where necessary.
• Build a new calculation from scratch.
• Use a rough calculation with plan groups (Projects module).
