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, whereas 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.

Use this drop-down box to select where cost information should be taken from when costing the routing step. There are three options, depending on whether the routing line contains a labor or a subcontractor operation:
Work Center - The system uses cost information only for labor operations. You can maintain such cost information in the Maintain Work Centers screen.
Operation - The system uses run rate and setup rate cost information only for labor operations; it uses standard unit and fixed costs only for subcontractor operations. The system can use burden rates for both labor and subcontractor operations.
Override - You can enter run rate, setup rate, and burden rate information to override current work center and current operation cost information (labor operations only). You can enter standard unit cost, fixed cost, and burden rate information to override current operation cost information (subcontractor operations only). Overriding cost information is specific to a part/routing.
The fields in this group box display both current rates and costs as set up in the operation and work center for the routing line. You can override these default rates with rates of your own by selecting "Override" as your Rate Source and then entering the new information in the Override fields.
