Using standard cost objects

You can maintain standard cost objects of the following cost types:

  • Labor
  • Materials
  • Equipment
  • Subcontracting
  • Sundry Costs

In each case, the recorded information includes details of:

  • The control code and control function used for the cost object.
  • The cost component used for the cost object.
  • The standard cost and sales price or rate used for the cost object.
  • Whether or not interim results are recorded by default for the cost object.
  • Whether or not the cost object has an attached text.

Material cost objects are treated differently:

  • Use the Items (tcibd0501m000) session to set up material items.
  • Use the Items - Project (tppdm0505m000) session to make material items available for use in projects.
