You can have the part calculate the Qty from ONE of the following:
Calculate from Cost - Sums up the cost of the other items on the BOM that match the product types checked in the Product Type grid.
Calculate from List - Sums up the List Price of the other items in the BOM that match the product types checked in the Product Type grid.
Calculate from Weight - Sums up the Weight of the other items in the BOM that match the product types checked in the Product Type grid.
Calculate from Manhours - Sums up the Manhours of the other items in the BOM that match the product types checked in the Product Type grid.
Calculate from QTY - Sums up the Qty of the other items in the BOM that match the product types checked in the
Product Type grid.
Calculate from Customer Price - Sums up the Sale Price (before tax, except in "Lump Sum Sale" pricing type where "Use Tax" becomes part of your cost) of the other items in the BOM that match the product types checked in the Product Type grid.
Calculate from Cubes - Sums up the Cubes of the other items in the BOM that match the product types checked in the Product Type grid.
Other Options
Specified QTY - inserts the part at the specified Qty supplied - no calculations are performed
Use This Factor - multiplies the Qty by the factor. For example a factor of .8 would take 80% of the summed up calculated Qty and apply it to the part. A factor of 3 would multiply the calculated Qty by 3. This can be especially useful when anticipating shortages.
Allow Sales Price to be Adjusted - When changing the sale price of an Option, Phase or BOM, this part will adjust its margin, markup or customer discount (depending on the pricing type) when checked or will be a fixed price that cannot be changed if this is not checked.
Calculate on Other Auto Part Values - By default auto-parts do not calculate off of other auto calculated parts because it would cause a circular reference or never ending loop. Therefore, only one part per set of auto-parts can be set to calculate on other Auto Part values. This can be useful when using an "Overhead" part that you also have an auto calculated Qty for installation and want to apply the overhead to the installation as well.
Auto-Parts are an integral part of the e-manage vision to make your quoting process not only more accurate, but also give your customers a faster turnaround time on quotes. If you have any questions about how to set-up auto-parts for your company, please contact support.
