The standard report 'Result per Customer based on Production Order' shows the pre-calculation and actual cost amounts and times of all production orders that have been reported financially ready in the current selected fiscal year. It provides a breakdown by material, operations, and outsourcing. The report is grouped by customer.

The standard report 'PC-AC Production Orders' provides a detailed overview of production orders, including a comparison of pre-calculation and actual costs. For each order, data is displayed on items, quantities, material usage, operations, outsourcing, man-hours, and machine-hours. The report shows both pre-calculation and actual costs, including deviations per cost type. This provides insight into actual performance compared to expectations, including PC-AC factors and deviation amounts, sorted by production order and production group.

Sometimes it is useful to recalculate the price for a line in the sales quote, or to calculate the price for the sales order. Or to use the pre-calculation in a production order for determining the price of a sales order line. We explain how this works in this article.

In Sales Quotation Management, it is possible to work with series prices. Depending on the number of products, different prices are offered. Series prices can be entered manually or based on a calculation.

Once BCO has been set up, you can start monitoring the budgets. The various BCO Dashboards serve this purpose. Budget control based on these dashboards is central to this article. In addition, a number of scenarios arising from the design of BCO are discussed.

The purpose of the standard dashboard 'BCO Exploitation Plan' is to gain insight into the setup of budgeting for the operations in BCO. Based on the budgeted hours and the costs of the operations, the net price is compared with the price configured for the operation.

In the standard dashboard 'PC-AC Overview per Production Order', the preliminary and final calculation values are compared based on the selected pricing system. This provides quick insight into the result of the production order and how it is achieved.

Do you create products that you think you will sell more than once? Make it an item. In MKG, this can be done very easily from an existing sales quote or sales order. It saves a lot of input work when creating the next one, especially if you have an associated calculation that you can use as a bill of materials.

The standard dashboard 'PC-AC Analysis (Financially Ready)' displays all production orders that have been marked as financially ready and are historical. Based on this, the pre-calculation and actual costs can be compared.

This article describes the administration settings on the 'General' tab. This tab contains the settings for 'Pricing'.

This article describes the administration settings on the 'Calculation' tab. On this tab you will find the settings for 'Calculations', 'Execute Actions only on Assembly', 'Bills of Materials' and 'BOMs/Calculations/Production Orders'.

In MKG, you can determine the quote price at your discretion, even if the quote lines are supported by a calculation. The 'Pricing' tab offers several possibilities for this. This article explains how to adjust the gross price of a quote line.

This article describes the administration settings on the 'Price structure' tab. On this tab you will find the standard settings for the price structure in MKG5, divided into 'Price structure', 'Operations', 'Items' and 'Distribution net price calculation'.

A calculation is filled with material and operations to ensure a well-founded quote price. This article explains how to add one or more operations to a calculation. One of these operations is an outsourcing.

To enable the VRM (accelerated calculation method) functionality, it is necessary to know which specific gravity should be used. The 'Material Types' list meets this need.

Within MKG, it is possible to enter a price for each type of material. This material type can be used for VRM materials.

The cost price includes the total production costs of an item, including materials, labor, machine costs, and any overhead, thus forming the basis for pricing and margin analysis. The cost price determines the lower limit for profitable sales.

The net price is the final selling price after deducting discounts, surcharges, or other price adjustments. This is the price that is actually invoiced and on which margins are calculated.

A rate adjustment is often implemented simultaneously with a fiscal year transition, if desirable and necessary of course. Different rates are available within MKG. For two types of rates of operations, net and billable rate, you can specify a price per hour, with which MKG calculates different prices.

The taskbar of Calculation Management contains several functions that are explained here.
