Copy Costs from Area to Area

 

The Cost Management screen allows the user to copy existing costs from one area to another, providing a quick method to populate the costs for a new area. This function also allows the default costs for the division to be copied into other areas.

 

To copy costs from area to area:

  1. In the Cost Management screen, click the Copy Costs from Area to Area icon in the Cost Management toolbar, and the Copy Costs dialog appears on the right.

  2. Click on the drop-down arrow and select the From Area (the area costs will be copied from).

  3. Click on the drop down arrow and select theTo Area (the area costs will be copied to).

  4. Check the Overwrite if Costs Exist checkbox, if applicable. To leave existing costs in the destination area and only copy costs to items with no existing cost, leave this checkbox blank.

  5. Click Continue.

  6. When the process completes, the "Costs were copied successfully" dialog appears.

  7. To close the window, click OK.

  • Or,Close the screen.

 

Note

This function allows the user to copy costs for all items from one area to another. As long as suppliers charge the same amount in the destination area, this is the quickest way to populate the costs for the destination area.
