Daniel,

do you mean the standard costs?
Yes, you can: go to catalog->product (edit product)-> costs
There you can set the standard cost for each of the raw materials (the
products at the bottom of the bom): select the type of "Estimated
Standard Cost", a cost amount and a currency
Then go to the costs tab of the finished product (one level above in the
bom) and run the form at the bottom of the screen ("calculate costs",
always selecting "estimated std costs"): the cost will automatically be
computed and appear in the screen.
You can see the cost (computed in this way) also in the bom simulation
screen (manufacturing application) if you select a currency in the top form.
