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 for this user (the Suppress Cost checkbox is selected in the table window of the Maintain Users screen in Costpoint System Administration), this subtask will be disabled.
