CALC4XL Super-BOM: Changing Module Level

You have two possibilities to change the assembly (module) level, which defines the belonging of the cost elements to each other:

Option 1 (previous solution):

(A) Click on the line of “housing outside”.
(B) Click on “Move”.
(C) Click on “tie rod complete” to move “housing outside” below it (level 2).
(See also   “CALC4XL Super-BOM” – Quick-Reference in to CALC4XL Super-BOM )

Option 2 (the new solution):

Overwrite the number “3” in the line of “housing outside” with a “2” (1).
CALC4XL automatically resorts all elements.

Steps to connect the standard CALC4XL Benchmark database

 

New Login process

Project Specification

Manage your supply chain

 

Machine Calculator

Create your own process and machine groups, e.g. favorites list

 

Equipment, consumables and use (%) of a machine are now stored in the DB for own machines.

 

The shift model can be changed individually on each machine.

Hint:

The “working hours per year” is determined from the work system entered in the project specification calculator. 
If a specific machine is to be used in another work system (shift model) (e.g. production in 3 shifts, packaging in 1 shift), you can change it only FOR THIS machine by clicking the padlock symbol.
Once the padlock icon is open, a change to the work system in the project specification calculator no longer has any effect on this machine.
The work system (shift model) can now be changed individually on each machine.

 

Specify the source of the machines and filter the machine list

When creating machines you should specify the source of the machine (e.g. supplier name).
Then you can later filter using this source and display, for example, all machines of a supplier that have already been negotiated.
