Define Project Demand Miscellaneous Part Cost Details
Explanation
When a miscellaneous demand row is created the part cost
details, i.e. the cost elements, cost and hours values, are automatically
retrieved by performing a posting control simulation based on the basic data and
the posting control setup.
Once the miscellaneous demand row is created this activity
can be used to add or modify
the part cost details.
Note: If you make changes to the miscellaneous demand line
this will initiate a new posting control simulation that will override any
manually entered cost and hours values, but only for the cost elements that are
automatically retrieved from the simulation.
Prerequisites
- A miscellaneous part must be defined on a project.
- Project Cost Elements must be defined in Accounting Rules.
System Effects
- Cost elements, cost and hours values will be updated for the
miscellaneous demand line.
