Cost Distribution Tab of the Request for Price Quote Line Detail Dialog Box

Use the Cost Distribution tab of the Request for Price Quote Line Detail dialog to specify the project, at its lowest level of work breakdown structure, to which to charge the cost, tax, shipping, and other costs of the item selected on the General tab of the Request for Price Quote form.

You can use this tab to specify whether the item cost is billable. If it is, you can view the committed expense at billing rates. DPS uses the cost distribution data that you specify here for the item, in place of the usual cost distribution specified on the price quote request's Cost Distribution tab.

If the line item is an inventory item, its row displays data from the Inventory Common Project.
