Producing costing from BOM

[Anonymous]

Hi Folks

My company would like to produce an automatic pricing from a BOM.

A seperate spread sheet has been suggested but this seems like double work.

Having a BOM which is working very well I would like to produce an auto matic list of parts costs.

Can I enter the cost in another column?

Is this possible in AutoCAD Electrical?

I have started searching the forum but thought I would as a question while I am continuing my forum search.

This is built in. Enter your cost in the USER1 column. From the BOM dialog press User Post. The resulting dialog has an option that takes QTY x SUBQTY x USER1 and puts the total in USER2.

Thanks for your recommendation. I am trying it right now though another little problem has surfaced. Thanks John Quigley

Hi Stan

Thanks again for the hint.  I have it working to what we need. I needed to set up two .set files so that the constings stayed in house and the Parts List is for customers.
