BOM Cost Update

[James]

Hello,

I made and submitted a BOM for an assembly with a number of subcomponents. At the time, I had yet to enter purchase orders for any of the subcomponents so I left the rate for each item to 0.00. I then submitted a few different P.O.s for the subcomponents. When I go back to the BOM, the rate for each item (in both sections 2. Materials and 5. Materials Required) still says 0.00. This happens even though I have the BOM "Rate of Materials Based On" equal to "Last Purchase Rate". If I click on the subcomponents individually and go down the page to 4. Purchase Details section, the field Last Purchase Rate is updated and correct for all subcomponents.

Is this by design? Is there a way to update the BOMs so that the cost is calculated from latest P.O.s?

Thank you,

James

We have added a button "Update Cost" in BOM to update material cost in one click. It will fetch all values as per last purchase rate or valuation rate and recalculate totals as per that. The button is only visible if BOM is not submitted.

Okay thank you. That seems useful.

So after the BOM has been submitted there is no means to update the cost? That's confusing me because the cost is listed as being based on "Last Purchase Rate" but it's not. It's really "Last Purchase Rate at time of BOM Submission". Or am I misunderstanding?

Ideally, I'd submit the BOM first so I can generate P.O.s from it and then it would update the cost based on those P.Os. Having an up-to-date costing would allow us to evaluate our current pricing structure and determine if prices for our products need to go up or down.

I see no reason not to update prices on an Existing BOM (after it is Submitted) - we will update the changes.

(Please raise these issues on GitHub - https://github.com/webnotes/erpnext/issues - so that you get a update when its completed!)

best,
