COST ELEMENTS

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 is disabled.

If you have entered a negative issue quantity, you can adjust any of the cost fields. If the transaction is not a negative issue, unit cost information is displayed in this screen but cannot be edited.

Access this subtask whenever a unit cost should be attached to the part that has been issued.
