# Assign commodity classes to bills of material

If a commodity is entered as a component in a production bill of material, you can associate it with a particular commodity class. When the program calculates the cost of a manufactured item from the costs of its components, it determines the cost of the commodity from the assigned commodity class. This lets you calculate the cost of a commodity based on the production process in which that commodity was consumed.

You cannot assign a commodity class to a production BOM line unless the raw material on that line has been designated as a commodity cost item.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Formulas**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the formula that you want to assign a commodity class to.
3. On the **Versions** FastTab, select the formula version with the commodity item that will have a commodity class. Make sure the **Status** field is not set to **Certified**.
4. Choose **Actions**, and then choose **Edit Version**. The **Production Formula Version** page appears.
5. On the **Lines** FastTab, select the line for the commodity item that will have a commodity class.
6. In the **Commodity Class Code** field, enter the commodity class you want to assign to the item.
