Specifying information for cost requests

Cost requests are available for style records.

After defining the main information of your request and specifying cost as your request type, you must define additional information, such as the quotation and shipping information.

The decimal settings configured for Style Costing are applied to the values of Cost Requests. This maintains the data consistency across related modules in the application.
