Adding cost elements to a style costing

You can add new cost elements on the Costing tab of a style record. In the application, cost elements are usually defined in the Cost Element panel. Enabling you to add new cost elements on the Costing tab gives you the option to skip that procedure and proceed with defining your style costing.

Note: To manually add cost elements to a style costing on the Costing tab, your account must have a Style Costing (On the fly) authority.

See Managing roles in the PAH Online Help.

Cost elements that you drag and drop from the libraries are saved automatically.
