Show MSRP on a Calculated BOM Cost Using the Calculation Group Sales Price Model in Dynamics 365 SCM

Implement costing

Short answer

A Set the Sales price model field on the calculation group to Item sales price so the calculated BOM cost shows the MSRP.

Question

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The marketing group needs to be able to view a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for a new bill of materials (BOM) item when the cost of the BOM item is calculated. You need to configure the functionality. What should you do?
  1. Set the sales price model field on the calculation group to item sales price. Correct Answer
  2. Use the category price rules to generate a trade agreement with the sales price.
  3. Add a profit setting percentage to a calculation group.
  4. Add a profit setting percentage to the released BOM product.
  5. Add a profit setting percentage to a cost group.

Key Takeaways

The calculation group's Sales price model determines how the sales price (including MSRP) is derived during BOM cost calculation; setting it to Item sales price surfaces the item's sales price on the calculated cost.

To let the marketing group view a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) when a BOM item cost is calculated, set the Sales price model field on the calculation group to Item sales price.

Common mistake: Do not add a profit setting percentage to the calculation group, released product, or cost group — that only builds a calculated sales price from cost plus margin, it does not display the existing MSRP. Category price rules generate trade agreements, not BOM cost calculation prices.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

The calculation group used in BOM cost calculation has a Sales price model field. Setting it to Item sales price tells the cost calculation to use the item's defined sales price (the MSRP) rather than computing one from cost. This is exactly what the marketing group needs to see on the calculated cost.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

  • Option B (category price rules) generates trade agreements for sales pricing, unrelated to displaying MSRP during BOM cost calculation.
  • Options C, D and E (profit setting percentage on calculation group, released product, or cost group) compute a margin-based sales price from cost; they do not surface the existing MSRP.

Community Comment Notes

Community votes are split between A and C; A is the precise configuration for displaying the existing MSRP during BOM cost calculation, while C only derives a calculated price.

    For me the answer is A : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/cost-management/bom-calculation-groups By setting the Sales price model field, you indicate how the item’s data is used to calculate a suggested sales price. You can specify either the item sales price or the cost group. Some manufacturers want to calculate a suggested sales price for manufactured items. The calculated sales price can reflect a rolled-price approach that is based on the component’s sales price record. Alternatively, the calculated sales price can reflect a cost-plus-markup approach that is based on the component’s cost and applicable profit percentage, which is associated with the item’s cost group.

    I think its correct as it says it want to show the retail price to the sales people. it says nothing about how the retail price was calculated, for calulation of the BOM the calculation groups are needed as Mamaou suggested, but the question askes for the finished price to be shown to sales. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/commerce/tasks/category-pricing-rules-trade-agreements

    To view the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for a new bill of materials (BOM) item, you need to configure a calculation group with a profit setting percentage. A calculation group is a group of settings that determine how the cost and sales price of a BOM item are calculated1. A profit setting percentage is a percentage that is added to the cost of a BOM item to calculate the sales price2. You can specify a profit setting percentage for each calculation group on the Calculation groups
