Create Resource Cost Details – An overview

The activity time type that represents the sub-activities run on the resource can be selected and linked to appropriate cost elements that are defined under the cost center. You can establish the link in the multiline by selecting the activity time types and cost elements. If the activity time type and cost element is already defined for the resource, the same is fetched onto the multiline. Otherwise, you need to explicitly map the activity time type and the cost element to the selected resource.

The activity time types and the cost elements are mapped based on the business unit. In the multiline, you can capture the standard rate of the cost element defined. You can make use of the necessary help facility to fetch the resource, activity time type and cost element details.
