Cost configuration report
Use the Cost Configuration report to assign the cost type (Cost, Cost1, Cost2, Cost3) to a category at SKU/Chain, SKU/Division, and Line/Zone levels. You must have the Manage Cost Configuration permission set to edit or import the cost types in this report.
The cost types defined for products will be the default costs used in optimized and Rules Priced scenarios, as well as Price Updates.
You may have imported different types of costs such as Vendor List, Inventory Billing Costs (IBC), or new manufacturer costs that are used in different divisions or zones. For example, if Tulsa is the only division which uses a different cost, you could define a cost type at the SKU/Chain level and then expand to the Tulsa division to define its particular cost type.
Cost configurations only need to be set up for exceptions to the scenario level default in the Manage Categories page. If costs are not defined for a set of products in the Cost Configuration report, then the scenario action will refer to the default configuration in the Manage Categories page.
The cost types can also be imported to this report using the Cost Configuration - SKU/Chain, Cost Configuration - SKU/Division, or Cost Configuration - Line/Zone import data type. See Data file formats for the required data formats in the import file.
