Computed Rate  =  Sum of (Material Cost + Resource Cost)/ Task output qty)

Materials and Resources whose Task Rate is Exclude will not be used in Task Rate calculation

If the Task output qty is 10, then Computed Rate = 992.5

Rate column will be defaulted with the Computed Rate. Rate cannot be changed by the user.

If the Computed Rate is derived as ‘0’, then the user can specify any Rate in the Rate column.

Once Computed Rate becomes greater than ‘0’, then the user specified rate will be overwritten by the derived rate.
