For inquiries and reports, you can display the ABC cost information using one of four calculated costs or estimated costs. The system calculates ABC costs on a year-to-date and 12-month rolling basis for the current and previous year. If you do not have a full year of data for calculating these costs, you can use estimated costs that you assign to each activity.
The cost selected for an inquiry or report displays on the screen in red. Use the Cost Select hot key to change the default. The following table lists the display options:
