You can define a usage cost rate override for any non-labor resource. Usage cost rate overrides are defined by the non-labor resource and organization. The cost rate override applies only to a specific non-labor resource owned by that organization; if there are multiple non-labor resources with that expenditure type or multiple owning organizations of the same resource, they retain the existing expenditure type cost rate you define.

For example, if you want to override the expenditure type cost rate of personal computers, you define a usage cost rate override for personal computers. All other non-labor resources that share the same expenditure type as the personal computers retain the existing expenditure type cost rate.

Note: In a multi-organization environment, non-labor resources are set up once and are shared across all operating units. For each of the non-labor resources that an operating unit may put in service, you must set up a cost rate for the associated expenditure type. If you wish to have a non-labor resource with different cost rates in different operating units, you can define operating unit-specific usage cost rate overrides for organizations in the business group associated with an operating unit.

Defining Usage Cost Rate Overrides
