Manage Unit Usage

Use this screen to collect unit usage information at a central point.

This unit usage information can then be distributed to the other Costpoint modules. This gives consistency for calculation purposes and eliminates the redundant entry of information. You can use this screen to enter equipment usage and bill the customer, based on this usage, on a price-per-unit basis. At the same time, you can update a service center with the number of units used so that you can calculate and apply a cost per unit back to the project. Refer to the "Units" special topic for more information about using units in Costpoint.

Enter unit usage information in this screen and post it before calculating billings or before computing service center allocations. For timing purposes, think of this screen as a timesheet entry or accounts payable voucher entry screen.
