Did you ever get an answer for this?
--------
--------
I am trying to get a Saved Search (or equivalent) that will show the "live" $$$value that is in the "Est. Unit Cost" field when creating a Sales Order or Quote.
--------
Reason being that we have/are setting our Assemblies Sales/Cost Estimate Type to be "Derived From Member Items".
Then the member Items each have their Sales/Cost Estimate Type set to one of: Purchase Price, Average Cost, etc.
--------
Essentially, right now the only way to view our current, accurate, "live" costs for these Assemblies that have their Sales/Cost Estimate Type to "Derived From Member Items" is via the live (transaction?) field on a Sales Order / Quote creation page.
Then upon viewing the "*Est. Unit Cost*" you get the sum cost of the BOM, but with the initial filter of Sales/Cost Estimate Type for each Item/Sub-Assm.
Rather than just summing them all based on Standard Cost, Avg Cost, etc.
--------
I am in need of a Saved Search that displays all these "current, accurate, "live"" costs so that we can update our pricing vs. costing accurately.
--------
I have gotten close to finding this data/field via Transaction Saved Searches, but it spits out too many and/or zero values. (and wrong ones)
But Transaction fields seem to be the only place I have seen the field "Est. Unit Cost", and other similar ones.
--------
Some context:
We did this because all of the rollups, updating Item Defined Cost, updating standard cost, etc. were becoming too tedious and prone to mistakes/failure/errors.
Derived From Members being the proverbial silver bullet, allowing us to have the most average costing for Assemblies.
--------
Some examples of fields via formula I've fiddled with so far:
{costestimaterate}
{correlateditem.currentstandardcost}
{transaction.costcomponentstandardcost}
{transaction.unitcostoverride}
{memberitem.costestimaterate}
{memberitems.cost}
{componentitem.cost}*{qty}
{componentitem.cost}*{componentitem.qty}
{memberitem.effectivebomcontrol}
{item.currentstandardcost}
{itemsitemcostestimaterate}

FYI: I do not know how to code, but my co-worker who is also on this channel does. They will be able to assist if anyones suggestions involve coding/scripting etc.
