COST

Use this subtask to specify the source of all cost and rate information for a given routing line. Labor operations will use setup and run hourly rates, while subcontract operations will use standard unit and fixed costs for the routing lines. This subtask will be disabled if the Step Type is "P" (Capacity Planning Only) for the selected line in the main screen, or if cost suppression is enabled for your user ID (the Suppress Cost checkbox is selected in the table window of the Maintain Users screen in Costpoint System Administration).

Use this subtask any time you need to modify cost and rate information for routing lines.
