Hi James As mentioned I think the Cost Component Calculation is what you need and yes it can be setup via the UI in quite a few places:
Manufacturing https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/manufacturing/control/EditCostCalcs Accounting https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/EditCostCalcs Catalog https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductCosts?productId=WG-1111 You can specify the fixed and variable parts of the calculation. If you need something a bit more specific then you can code a calculation and then link that coded calculation into the Cost Component Calculation. (See GEN_COST_CALC as an example using a mixture for fixed and bespoke calculation). You can add costs such as labour at various places (eg Routing Task) need to be linked to a Cost Component Calculation rather than just a rate. You can also add a labour cost to the actual product itself in Catalog manager https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductCosts and then use the button at the bottom of the screen to auto calculate an estimate of it. So in general yes, you can setup and estimate the production costs including labour etc but I think there might be something missing. I haven’t tested intensely in manufacturing but even when I had setup additional costs, so far I have never been able to get anything other than the actual material costs to come on a production run. (I'm talking about the Actual Costs tab linked to an individual production run). This could be missing setup or just that the tests I’ve done so far are not comprehensive enough.
