Associating Expenditure Types with Cost Elements
Expenditure types are used to classify project-related transaction costs that are collected using the Cost Collector then transferred to Oracle Projects.
You must associate 'in' and 'out' expenditure types with each of the five cost elements so that costs for the following inventory transfer transactions can be collected and transferred to Oracle Projects.
- Project related miscellaneous transactions which issue inventory to, or receive it from, Projects.
'In' expenditure types are used to cost the value of transfers into a project. 'Out' expenditure types are used to cost the value of transfers out of a project.
