Viewing BOM cost breakdown
You can view cost breakdown from the BOM record Costing tab, or from the Costing BOMs process.
By default, cost breakdown is shown, in a summary view, grouped by cost heading. Cost headings, by default, are shown in the order: Materials, Labour, Machine, Tooling and Subcontract. Components and operations are listed in the sequence order used to place them on an assembly.
To view cost breakdown
Open: Bill of Materials > Processing > Cost.
Open: Bill of Materials > Records > Amend Bill of Materials | Cost.

To provide a breakdown of costs in the BOM hierarchy, select Roll up Sub-Assemblies into Cost Headings.
