Non-Labor Costing Definitions

Expenditure Type Cost Rates

An expenditure type cost rate is a dollar amount that Oracle Projects multiplies by the expenditure type unit to calculate cost.

Defining Cost Rates for Expenditure Types

You define a cost rate in the Expenditure Types window by selecting an expenditure type and entering a cost rate for it. You can select only a non-labor expenditure type that requires a cost rate. You cannot define a cost rate for a non-labor expenditure type that does not require a cost rate. Instead, you must disable the expenditure type and create a new one that requires a cost rate and has a unique name.

Note: In a multi-organization environment, expenditure types are set up once and are shared across all operating units. However, the cost rates for expenditure types are specific to each operating unit. Each operating unit must have cost rates set up for expenditure types in which expenditures are expected to be incurred.
