Hi

The product cost system worked well, however I couldn't get the bom
simulation to work. Is that a new feature, as I'm running a month old
svn and didn't see anyplace to specify the  currency?

Did you consider adding a mode to grab the component costs directly from
the product supplier table, as the way it is now I'm manually copying
the costs across, and it seems like an unnecessary duplication of data?

Thanks

Daniel
