Cost Subtask

Use the Cost subtask to link standard fixed and unit costs to an outside operation by effective date.

The system will use these amounts to calculate subcontract roll up costs. The appropriate rates will also be used to load the estimated requisition line amounts from Costpoint Production Control.

Use this subtask whenever you need to link costs to an outside operation.
