There are three factors used to calculate Material Cost.
Expected Yield % is the average % of material that normally ends up in the finished product with the remainder being scrapped. This number is used to estimate how much material must be purchased for a Job (and thus the cost) by using the amount of material in the finished product, which is a known amount. Expected Yield is used to estimate Material Cost until the Job is nested, at which point the exact amount of material required is known and used. The Dynamic Cost Display specifies if the costs presented are based on Expected Yield or Actual Yield.
Percent Markup % is a percent that the cost of material is increased to allow for miscellaneous costs directly associated with material such as shipping or scrap removal cost.
Fix Markup $ is an amount added to each material estimate to cover any fixed cost associated with each material.
Material Cost is the sum all Material required for the Job.
- Sheet stock, board stock and molding cost in the Cabinet/Assembly Editor is calculated by dividing the amount of stock required for the cabinet parts by the Estimated Yield to determine the cost of the stock needed before processing and then marking this up by the % Markup and adding the Fixed Markup.
- Sheet stock, board stock and molding cost in Custom Layout is calculated by dividing the amount of stock required for the cabinet parts by the Estimated Yield to determine the number of FULL SHEETS or FULL LENGTHS of material needed for the Job. The cost of these is then marked up by the % Markup and the Fixed Markup is added. If the Job has been nested, the actual number of full sheets or full lengths is used for this calculation.
- Purchased material cost is determined using the cost at which the item can be purchased through the eCabinet Systems program and then marking this up by the % Markup and adding the Fixed Markup.
