To view the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for a new bill of materials (BOM) item, you need to configure a calculation group with a profit setting percentage. A calculation group is a group of settings that determine how the cost and sales price of a BOM item are calculated1. A profit setting percentage is a percentage that is added to the cost of a BOM item to calculate the sales price2. You can specify a profit setting percentage for each calculation group on the Calculation groups page3.
When you calculate the cost and sales price of a BOM item, you must select a calculation group on the Calculations page. The calculation group determines the cost model and sales price model that are used for the BOM calculation. The cost model defines how the cost of the BOM item is calculated based on the cost categories and cost groups of the components and operations. The sales price model defines how the sales price of the BOM item is calculated based on the profit setting percentage and the cost model.
By using a calculation group with a profit setting percentage, you can view the MSRP for a new BOM item when you calculate its cost and sales price. The MSRP will be shown as the calculated sales price on the Calculate item cost page. You can also view the calculation details and see how the profit setting percentage is applied to the cost of the BOM item.
The other options are not correct, because they do not allow you to view the MSRP for a new BOM item when you calculate its cost. Setting the sales price model field on the calculation group to item sales price would use the existing sales price of the BOM item from the Item price page, instead of calculating a new sales price based on a profit setting percentage. Using the category price rules to generate a trade agreement with the sales price would create a trade agreement line for the BOM item based on its category, but it would not show the MSRP when you calculate its cost. Adding a profit setting percentage to the released BOM product or to a cost group would have no effect, because these entities do not affect how the sales price of a BOM item is calculated.
