Looking to inactive 700 parts, but engineering is concerned that an inactive part may not be included when costing new product BOMs. It is my understanding, that when creating a new BOM, a part that is added and inactive, will be flagged. BUT if the BOM is copied from another BOM, inactive parts on that BOM will not be flagged. So the question is, will the inactive parts, in the new copied BOM, have their costs included in the cost of the finished product?
Tony, in 10.2.500.8 I saw that purchased parts (active or inactive) were always included in the cost if you are using the costing workbench and standard cost (I say this because that’s the only time/setup I tested).
IF your BOM contains a manufactured part that is inactive, it will not be included in the costing workbench load details and therefore will not be considered in the cost when doing the cost rollup.
Again, not sure if they changed this in future versions (your version), this is just what I experienced on my version… I saw a PRB on something I saw that was confusing in my version. When I experienced this missing cost due to the inactive flag on a manufactured part material, I saw in the log for my “load cost details” that it had said somethign like, “part xyz is inactive, but its costs are included…” but when I looked, its costs were not included and I don’t know what the PRB fixed, whether they continued to ignore the parts and chagned the logging message to “costs are not included” or if they started bringing in inactive manufactured part materials and kept the message as it was so that the logging message was actually true.
It appears that the inactive parts get included in the costs for new parts (version 10.2.700.3). Engineering deactivated a part, changed the cost; and we saw it in the costing screens.
The cost rollup is another process. Can anyone shed some light on inactive parts and cost rollup?
Seeing the same thing in 2022.1.12 (11.2.100)
Inactive parts (purchased) are being included in a Cost Group.
No one is wanting these in a cost group. Been using Epicor for 15 years and I could have swore that at least before 10.2 Inactive parts were never included in a Cost Group under any circumstances. We have over 40k parts and a quarter of them are inactive… but are still included and they shouldn’t be and it’s causing the entire Cost Roll process to take way longer than it should.
I opened an Epicor Case on this as I didn’t find anything in the KB about it.

Furthermore, I thought we could force the Group to NOT include inactive parts by using the Filter Part Search during Load Cost Details to only include Active… but that option is greyed out and it’s set to Active… so at that point it seems like something is trying to only allow you to search and include Active parts… but if you don’t specify a search filter it then includes Inactive? what gives?
Rick man, there’s a lot of oddities in the costing workbench. My main thing is how it does include the cost of inactive purchased parts, but doesn’t include the cost of inactive manufactured parts in the bill- 10.2.500.8…
Last time I checked, Costing rollup through Costing workbench will NOT include Inactive parts. Looking for files now. Think I was to effective in cleaning up old files…

Roll up test on 11/1 this year. 2023.2 ( maybe ??)

A few more but you get the gist…
