Cost Type Code

Enter an identification code for this cost type.

Description

Enter a description for this cost type.

Sequence

Enter a sequence number for this cost type. Costpoint uses this sequence number to load the default unit cost for an item when adding new requisition lines. The sequence number must be unique for each requisition cost type. There cannot be duplicate sequence numbers in this table. If the sequence number is zero, no unit cost for that cost type will default.

When you add a new requisition line, Costpoint will attempt to use the estimated cost associated with the lowest sequence number (excluding zeros) in this table. If that cost type is not available for that item, Costpoint will select the next lowest number until a cost is found or no more cost types exist.
