Cost Elements Tab
Use this subtask to derive the unit cost of a part.
The unit cost can be broken down into various direct and burden elements such as material, labor, subcontract, and miscellaneous. If Cost Suppression is active (the Suppress Cost check box is selected on the Manage Users screen in Costpoint Administration), this subtask will be disabled.
Access this tab whenever you want to attach a unit cost to the part that has been adjusted.
