Project Cost Types

Project Cost Types are used to group costs applied to projects. In IEM 4 main categories exist:

  • Material (Items)
  • Resources (Resources - Person)
  • Equipment (Resources - Machine)
  • Expenses (G/L Accounts)

You can define your own codes to identify these categories on the Project Cost Types page. Project Cost Type defaults are set in the Projects Setup.

Item, Resource, and G/L Account card pages have a Project Cost Type field where you can select a specific Project Cost Type to be copied to the Project Budget Line when the Item, Resource or G/L Account is selected. The Project Cost Type is copied in all postings.

The Project Cost Type is also the basis for Surcharges and is used in the Project- and Project Task Summaries to group costs.
