Routing Allocation Percentage to Calculate Cost

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a scenario wherein we print a Business Card of size 3.5 x 4. In the sales order configuration, I calculate the surface area as 14 square inches which according to our customer's business logic calculates the allocation percentage as 1.4% as below. I need to capture this value (1.4%) in routing to calculate the cost per print run.

Allocation % Calculation:

Komori sheet size area- 1120

Coverage – 90%

So available komori area- 1120*90% =1008

Area of product (BC) = LxB=4*3.5=14

Allocation % =(14/1008) x 100 =1.4%

Kindly request your suggestion on how to capture the allocation percentage in Routing.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Aditya,

Allocation % itself is the activity or you want to multiply this % with timing?

Can you try something like below said, ma be helpful

Create characteristic:

1. Reference characteristic: ACT : with PLPOD - VGW01 (say 1 activity) call this in header material class

2. Length: L

3.Breadth: B

4.Komori area : KA use this as input value.

5. Area

6. Allocation % - ALLOC

Set below codes

$Self.Area = ($Self.L * $Self.B) which is product area Call this procedure in confg profile

$SELF.ALLOC = ($root.area / KA (input value)) X 100 = 0.014

then write a procedure like

$SELF.ACT = $ROOT.ALLOC assign this procedure to the activity in routing to change the timing

Aditya, i have tested these codes and they are really working as per calculation and helps to change the timings in routing. Check it can be achievable.
