Units

A unit of measure records quantities or amounts of an expenditure item. You assign a unit to each expenditure type. For example, you can specify the unit of measure Miles when you define an expenditure type for personal car use. You enter the quantity of personal car use in miles, and Oracle Projects calculates the cost of using a personal car by mileage.

If you want to calculate the cost of computer services by the amount of time a user uses a computer, you can define an expenditure type for computer services and assign it the unit Hours.

Oracle Projects predefines the units Dollars and Hours.
