Use the Cost Distribution tab to specify, at its lowest level of work breakdown structure, the project to which to charge tax, shipping, and other costs for the item selected on the General tab of the Purchase Requisition form.
DPS uses the cost distribution data that you specify here for the selected item in place of the usual data on the purchase requisition's Cost Distribution tab.
DPS uses a line item's cost distribution to calculate its committed expense. You can also use this grid to mark the item cost as billable. If it is, you can view the committed expense at billing rates. If the line item is an inventory item, its row in this grid is non-editable and displays data from the Inventory Common Project.
