Specifying the costing heading information

When creating a costing record for a new style record, start with specifying the details in Header Information.

  1. On the Style panel, open a style record and click the Costing tab.
  2. Specify this information:
    Cost Model

    Select a cost model from the dropdown list.

    An initial cost model is displayed in the Cost Model field if you have set a default record from the Cost Model panel.

    To define cost models, see Creating cost models.

    Note: In the Cost Model dropdown list, the inactive cost models are grayed-out for distinction and they are also disabled as options.

    You can change the status of a selected cost model in a style record from active to inactive. At first, the changed cost model is still retained as the set Cost Model value when you go back to the same style record's Costing tab. When you click the Cost Model dropdown list again, the change in the cost model status is reflected and the inactive cost model is disabled as an option. You must select a new active Cost Model value for the style record.

    To use and customize cost model properties in a style, see Using a cost model on a style.
