Use this subtask to derive the unit cost of a part. The unit cost can be broken down into various direct and burden elements such as material, labor, subcontract, and miscellaneous. If Cost Suppression is active (the Suppress Cost checkbox is selected in the table window of the Maintain Users screen in Costpoint System Administration), this subtask will be disabled.
Access this subtask whenever you want to attach a unit cost to the part that has been adjusted.
The part, revision, part description, project, project description, and cost method are all displayed in these non-editable fields.
If you entered information in the Inv Abbrev field and the Part field in the main screen, the fields in the Direct Cost Elements group box will be available; otherwise, these fields will be non-editable.
