The new “Cost Sheet” option is useful when getting quotations for engineered products. It requires the supplier to state all elements of the bid price including tooling, material, labor, processing costs, shipping costs, overhead and profit. Cost sheets provide a negotiating tool allowing you to compare each supplier’s assumptions and push back on cost elements that are out of line with other bidders.
The following features will be available in release 10.1 scheduled for general availability in mid-May.
