Project Item Costs

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to enter or view cost information for individual items (i.e., parts, goods, or services) associated with a specific project.

When should I use this screen?

Use this screen after you create items and whenever you need to make additions or changes to project item costs.

If you have the Costpoint Bill of Materials module, you can enter "this level" costs for parent assembly parts in this screen. You can then use the printed Costed BOM report to add the rolled up component and subassembly costs in the part’s bill of materials to the "this level costs" to determine the total cost of the assembly. This report can optionally update the total standard and reference costs displayed here.
