This is where you choose which price alternative you want to set for stocked parts that are included in the pre-calculation. You can choose between Post-calculated mean price, Standard price, Future standard price and different price lists. The default price alternative is configured using the system setting S-parts price alternative during order registration and reporting, under the heading Orders that you will find under the Manufacturing tab in the Settings procedure. You will find additional information about Managing Prices in the System in the MONITOR Basics in the chapter called MONITOR General Information.
By using the price alternative Post-calculated mean price, the Post-calculated mean price will be set for the incorporated S-parts. This will give a more correct value of the pre-calculation then the value you obtain when using Standard price. This is especially useful if a large quantity of S-parts is included in the part for which you have created a pre-calculation. The Post-calculated mean price can be selected provided that it has been updated for the S-parts. The price is updated in the Post-Calculation Selection procedure. If there is no post-calculated mean-price, it will be shown under the Warning tab.
