This tab is available only for documents with the Manual Allocation transaction type. The Costs tab includes the list of projects with project tasks for which you want to allocate specific costs.  You may need to do this in case when specific costs for any reason were not associated with the required project and now the cost document is closed. As another case, you may need to re-assign the specific cost if initially  the cost was assigned to a wrong project. 

The following fields are required: Project and Amount.


The "Project Cost Allocation (create)" form. The Costs tab

If you have prepared this cost allocation in an Excel spreadsheet, you can import this spreadsheet into the system. For this, click the button on the table toolbar and follow the step-by-step instructions in the appeared window. It is recommended that you attach the spreadsheet file to this document by using the button on the toolbar.

If you need to create a list of allocated costs on this tab manually, use the Add button on the toolbar to add lines.

For each added project, select the required cost analytics from the analytics used for particular project  (Project Task, Expense Item, Business Activity, Department, Company, Contract, Cost Element) related to the cost. 

In the Cost Element column (if this parameter is used for the project), you can  select a particular cost element related to the incurred cost. First, you can select a category of the cost element from following: Items, Employees, or Fixed Assets; then, you can select a particular element. After that, you enter the cost amount in the Amount column or, if applicable, enter the quantity (the Quantity column) and unit cost (the Cost column)—the amount will be calculated automatically.

If the Cost Element is not used for the project as analytical parameter, you can enter the cost amount in the Amount column.  Note. Negative amounts are allowed.
