How does SecturaFAB calculate how much do I change for material.
The weight or area of a part is used to determine the material cost portion of the line-item cost.
The rectangular weight of a part will be used if the part is not nested, but if a part is nested with either a single part nest or a multi part nest a nested weight will be calculated and the nested weight of the part will be used for material cost calculations.
Unit Cost = Part Weight * Material Cost
Example
Material Cost = $0.75 per pound
Weight = 25 pounds
Unit Cost = 25 * $0.75 = $18.75
The Profit Model setting will determine the how the Material Price is calculated.
If the Profit Model is set to margin, then the Material Price will be calculated as follows.
Unit Price = Unit Cost / (1 – Margin %)
Example
Margin = 15%
Unit Cost = $18.75
Unit Price = $18.75 / (1 – 0.15) = $18.75 / 0.85 = $22.0588
If the Profit Model is set to Markup, then the Material Price will be calculated as follows.
Unit Price = Unit Cost *(1 + Markup %)
Example
Markup = 15%
Unit Cost = $18.75
Unit Price = $18.75* (1 + 0.15) = $18.75 * 1.15 = $21.5625
