Sheet plastic material unit cost

You can specify how aPriori should calculate the unit cost of the material. You may want to specify this cost if you purchase sheets from a supplier and you know how much you pay for those sheets.

Select:

• VPE Material Unit Cost to use the cost of the raw pellets specified in the VPE.

• Override and enter the cost of the sheets from your supplier in the field to specify the cost by mass of the plastic sheet (that is, the cost after the pellets have been converted to a sheet).

If you override the material unit cost, the Conversion process still appears in the routing because in addition to modeling the cost of converting the pellets to a sheet, it accounts for the cost savings from trimmed material that can be sold back to the sheet supplier.
