Item Project Cost Line Layout (IPC)

The Item Project Cost (ITEM_PROJ_CST) table stores project-specific cost information for the item being processed.

The application cannot process Item Project Cost Line Types unless the Item exists. You can process multiple lines per item. The Item ID, Item Revision ID, Project ID, and Item Cost Type combination must be unique.

For Parts without a Bill of Material (BOM), the This Level Amounts columns default to the Total Cost Amounts columns if the This Level Amounts values are not provided.

You can view or update the information stored in this table on the Manage Project Item Costs screen in Costpoint Product Definition.

Note: The application uses default values for INSERTS ONLY if the input file field value is not provided. The exception is MODIFIED_BY, which is updated using the default value if no value is provided.
