You can copy and paste numerical data in the Costing Template Editor.
Default Sets the default weld bead.

Machine Cost Sets the Machine Cost associated with the operation.
Labor Cost Sets the Labor Cost associated with the operation.
Operation Setup Time Sets the amount of time it takes to set up a machine for each operation.

Setup cost = Operation Setup time * (Machine Cost + Labor Cost)
Setup Distribution Sets how to distribute the Setup Cost:

Divided Over Total Quantity

Setup cost is divided by the total number of parts (Setup cost per part = Setup cost / Total number of parts). For example, if the setup cost is 100 and the total number of parts is 100, then the setup cost per part is 1.

Divided Over Lot Size

Setup cost is divided by the lot size (Setup cost per part = Setup cost / Lot size). For example, if the setup cost is 100 and the lot size is 10, then the setup cost per part is 10.

Applied Once Per Part

Setup cost is applied per part (Setup cost per part = Setup cost). For example, if the setup cost is 100 then the setup cost per part is 100.
Filters Displays the rows that match the Weld Bead Category, Weld Bead Type, and Weld Method selected.
Weld Bead Category Sets the category. Select a weld bead category from the list.
Weld Bead Type The weld bead type is dependant on the weld bead category. Select a weld bead type from the list.
Weld Method Sets the weld method.
Weld Bead Size Sets the size of the weld bead.
Cost per Length Sets a cost per length for the weld bead.
Spot welds are treated as "one" length. For example, if the cost per mm is 0.06USD, then one spot weld costs 0.06USD.
