The flow of costs in Advanced Projects Management

Direct Unit Costs

When items and resources are inserted on the ProjectBudget/Planning line:

The Last Direct Unit Cost from the item card is copied to the Direct Unit Cost (LCY) on the ProjectBudget/Planning Line.
The Direct Unit Cost from the resource card is copied to the Direct Unit Cost (LCY) on the ProjectBudget/Planning Line.
The above is overruled when a Default Purchase Price List is specified in Projects Setup.
The Direct Unit Cost in the ProjectPlanning Line is not editable and therefor information only.

Items are purchased through the Order Planning action which creates a Requisition Line.
The Unit Cost from the ProjectPlanning Line is copied to the Unit Cost of the Requisition Line.
The Unit Cost of the Requisition Line is copied to the Direct Unit Cost of the Purchase Line.
- This procedure is specific to Advance ProjectManagement to make sure that the Unit Cost from the ProjectPlanning Line flows to the Direct Unit Cost on the Purchase Line.
For Non-Inventory -, and Service Items as well as Resources a direct purchase order can be created (not through order planning).
- In this scenario the Unit Cost from the ProjectPlanning Line is copied to the Direct Unit Cost on the Purchase Line, in line with Business Central.
