Adding the Costs of a Part

Costs can be added for Suppliers. When your own company is the supplier, during the configuration of the Organization make sure that not only 'Manufacturing' is selected, but also 'Supplier'. Now your own organization can be selected as well, and an internal price can be defined. This is shown in the following example. Make sure that both the Part Definition and Part Supplier information are active. When pending, the values on those forms will not be active and '0'.
