Explanation

This activity is used to enable the update of the costs and cost elements of the design object from the engineering register material procurement list (ERMPL).

Prerequisites

• At least one part must be registered on the ERMPL tab.
• A cost change made to ERMPL must exist. The addition of a cost element with the planned cost or the modification of existing cost elements is considered a cost change.

• The costs along with their related cost elements, of the demand in ERMPL, will be applied to the design object in IFS/Asset Design.
• The design object's planned cost in the Project/Connections tab will be updated with the change.
