Cost Structure & Results tab of the Edit Budget Line dialog box
Cost structure refers to what you are budgeting with the selected budget line. For example, when editing a Job line, the cost structure is total hours multiplied by average wage to give you budgeted costs. You would edit the Cost Structure tab to enter the average wage. Cost Structure setup is only applicable when editing a budget line. You cannot configure it while you are adding the line because, during creation, the line is not yet linked to a budget dataset; therefore, you would not know what values you need to pull into the cost structure to display.
Fields on the Cost Structure & Results tab of the Edit Budget Line dialog box
Note: The fields that appear on this tab depend on the line type that you have selected to edit as well as options that you select on the tab.
Note: If you are adding a budget line, the Cost Structure & Results fields are not available in the Add Budget Lines wizard.
Note:Job ( ), Percent of Labor ( ), and Percent of Hours ( ) line types share the same configuration fields.
Note: If Percent is selected as the Performance Measure on the Line-Specific Options tab, the Cost Structure & Results tab is not available for the line type.
