Other Direct Costs
Other Direct Costs = Expendable Tooling Cost +
Additional Direct Costs + Extra Costs + Material Overhead Cost
Other direct costs is defined in the global taxonomy module. It is the sum of the following per part costs:
• Expendable tooling costs (result of aggregating expendable tooling costs from the current node’s children)
• Additional direct costs (result of aggregating additional direct costs from the current node’s children)
• Extra costs (result of aggregating extra costs from the current node’s children)
• Material overhead costs: this is the per part cost for material overhead (overhead costs associated with purchasing and storing material, as well as moving materials to the workcenter). By default this is the product of material cost and the value of the VPE variable materialOverheadPercent.
