   Note: In case you have defined one or more Reporting Functional Views at the Program level that are different from the Management Functional View in the Concept phase, you can see additional editable columns corresponding to those Functional Views for each node.

Using this panel, you can compare the portion of the weight which is assigned to the real parts/assemblies to the portion of the weight assigned to the functional tree.

You can customize the grid columns by adding selected columns to the table and removing the unselected columns from the table.

   The selected columns will be added to the table and the unselected columns will be removed from the table.

You can create a new Product in the E-BoM by extracting the E-BoM from the F-BoM.

4. Select a Functional Node (at any hierarchical level) for which you want to view or edit the cost attributes.
   The Target Costs and the Unit Costs sections display the respective cost attributes.
5. In the Target Costs section, specify the following attributes:
   • Currency
   • Target Cost
6. Select an assembly or part for which you want to view or edit the cost attributes.
   You can specify the cost attributes as shown in the following example where the cost attributes list is displayed. The effective list depends on your WA configuration.

   • Make: Flag that indicates if the part or assembly is a Make or Buy part.
