Some of our part numbers are not rolling up properly. Below is an example of the Material cost missing on each of these parts. It was there before the roll, but disappeared after the roll. I can’t seem to get it back. Anyone else experience this? before I go to support I want to make sure it is not a setup issue.
If this is not viewable I will try to explain here:
Part A lower level: Total standard before rollup: $18.5406. Total standard after rollup: $13.01131. Before the roll up the purchased material showed under Std. Material Cost. After the rollup, the Std. Material Cost is Zero.
Part B Upper level. Same as above.
The only thing we changed prior to the rollup was the burden rates on the resources. Most parts rolled correctly but not all. We checked the Methods, the part masters, nothing is popping out that is different.
@rholtz I went to the EpicCare KB search and found a lot of good articles that could apply, so that would be a place to start along with opening a support ticket. One piece of advise I found was where to begin searching.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
If you see strange results they could be caused by many different factors but the first place to check would be the log files the costing workbench creates. If you open the load cost details screen, the cost rollup screen, or the post screen, you can see where the log files are written to. Follow that path and go see if there are any errors in the log, if there is, they may explain why a parts cost did not rollup correctly.
Another way to troubleshoot these issues is to compare the cost rollup results to a BOM cost report and compare assembly total to narrow it down to a particular assembly.
If Load Cost Details and the Rollup do not appear to work right, will not bring in or rollup costs, run the 5100 database conversion (1040 in Version 10.X+) titled Recalculate Part Low Level Codes. It’s especially helpful when any data has been imported from outside templates/files or converted from lower versions. It helps to resynch related tables and fields that are out of synch for the Revisions, BOMs and Methods. Can also clear up data corruption that is affecting the rollup process.
Does the component Purchase parts have a method? if so, then you have to specify not to roll up purchase parts using it’s method when doing a cost roll.
Thanks for your response to this post. Having a method (imported from our old ERP) was the answer to some of my purchased part costs not rolling up correctly into their upper level standard costed manufactured parts. Your two sentences lead me to the solution to my problem. Thanks again.
