Creating Cost Sheets
Cost sheets are associated, at a minimum, to a season and a source. Cost sheets can also be associated to a specification. Primary cost sheets are automatically generated for any product when a source is assigned to a season. You can also create additional active and what if cost sheets for the same season and source combination from the Costing page.
1. From the Season menu in the product header, select a season.
2. From the Source menu, select a source.
The season you selected determines which sources are available to be selected from the Source menu. Only those sourcing configurations that are associated to the season you have chosen are available for selection.
3. To create a cost sheet that is associated to a specification, select the specification from the Specification menu.
Associating a cost sheet to a specification allows you to use existing bill of material information. Your season and source selections influence the available specifications.

Selecting a specification is not mandatory.

4. From the Actions menu on the Cost Sheet List tab, select one of the following:
◦ Create Cost Sheet
◦ Create New What If
◦ Create Multiple Cost Sheets

Selecting Create Cost Sheet creates an active cost sheet. Once the active cost sheet is created, you can designate it as a primary cost sheet either from the cost sheet’s actions icon  or its Actions menu. |
5. On the Create New Cost Sheet page, select a type.
6. On the Create Product Cost Sheet page, enter details for the cost sheet.
7. Click Save. The system returns you to the Costing page, and opens the newly created cost sheet in its own cost sheet tab.
The Cost Sheet Identification Box
The Cost Sheet Identification box allows you to name your cost sheet and select or change the associated specification.
Enter a name in the Name field, and select a specification from the Specification menu, if applicable. If you have previously selected an associated specification, that specification name automatically appears in the menu. You can change the associated specification by selecting a different specification from the menu.
The Cost Sheet Identification area also displays the associated Sourcing Configuration, Type, Product, and Season. These fields cannot be updated.
The Cost Sheet Variations Box
The Cost Sheet Variations area allows you to specify which product variations the cost sheet is associated to, as well as the representative value for each variation.
You can add colorways and destinations to the cost sheet using the list box for each variation.
To add sizes to the cost sheet, select a size category from the Product Size Definition menu.
Selecting a size category populates the Options field of the Sizes 1 menu. If the size category selected is two-dimensional, the Options field of the Sizes 2 menu is also populated with the appropriate size values. After the Options fields have been populated, add sizes to the cost sheet using the list box.
Representative variations are used when calculating the total product cost. They indicate which value the system uses when performing calculations. As you add variations to the cost sheet, the Representative Size menu for each variation is populated with the values you select. When you have finished selecting all variation values, select a representative value from the variation’s Representative Size menu.
If you do not select a representative variation for each variation, the system automatically uses the first variation in the list as the representative value.
Once you have finished selecting representative values for all variations, click Save to save the cost sheet.
