Use this dialog box to calculate costs for several parts at a time. A cost calculation can be ordered to calculate cost for a cost set for all parts or a group of parts where the selection can be done for part cost group, product family, product code, part status or a combination of those. You can also use this dialog box to make the calculation an automated, recurrent event. The calculation is performed as a background job. The calculation updates the part's level labor costs and the cumulative costs in the estimate section of the inventory part register. The structures and operations of the part are calculated, and the costs are rolled up to update the cumulative calculations of the parent part.
Note: You cannot perform this cost calculation within cost set 1.
