This section has introduced only the basics about costing. With aPriori, you can perform sophisticated costing operations with different scenarios, and by controlling factors such as whether to cost just at the top level of an assembly, or to “deep cost” all of the assembly’s children parts, and their scenarios. You can also apply some or all of an assembly’s production input values to its children, using a single command.

For more information, see Using the Scenario Menu on page 1 and Bulk Costing and Analysis on page 1.
