See Vol I pages 93-96
the estimated Costing model is for projecting cost, in the future. it is
not tied to production, and is one of my arguments about having
manufacturing in the base applications.
The estimate cost would be used to determine budgeting, or FOB of a product.
Ofbiz made a generic CostComponent model that lets you have both
estimated and actual cost per the link I showed you.
see the actual_other_cost using the General Cost Calc which puts the
cost in costGlAccountTypeId="OPERATING_EXPENSE".
the Automatic Cost calc is only setup for Estimated.
you need to add one for Actual.
or you would then setup one activated by an SECA on the order if you
want it split out this way.
you can look at getProductCost
in application/product/scripts/org/ofbiz/product/cost/CostServices.xml
for a template of how to write one to accomplish what you want todo
V.S. sent the following on 7/23/2010 2:54 PM:
Just tried again on https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/
I added 2 different cost components to the product and bought it. No any
additional posting in finance is not created and lot cost price of a new
lot is not affected.
Maybe somewhere there is at least a brief instruction on how to use Cost
Components?
