Working with a Generic Cost Manager

A Generic Cost Manager captures cost-related activities for a configurable shell. These include costs like:

Rent
Lease payments
Landscape care
Building maintenance and repair
Remodel of building interiors

With this manager, you can capture and view cost transaction information based on a timescale, such as monthly, quarterly or yearly. Each configurable shell can have one Generic Cost Manager.

Most of the functionality for the Generic Cost Manager is the same as that for the standard Cost Manager. Rather than re-document all of the cost management sheet functionality that is common between the Generic Cost Manager and the standard Cost Manager, this section documents the differences between the managers, and tell you how to use that functionality in context of the task you will be performing.

Note: The names of the Generic Cost Manager, the various shells and subshells, and the generic cost sheet you will work with are determined by the names defined in Primavera uDesigner. For documentation purposes, in these instructions, this manager is referred to as the Generic Cost Manager.

The Generic Cost Manager:

Defines a code structure that can be used to capture cost-related activities for a configurable shell.
Tracks and rolls up costs to upper management levels
Enables interaction with cost data
Operating budgets (monthly, quarterly, yearly)
Projects with life cycles that span over extended time
Costs covering the entire life cycle of the product/operation
Transactions based on timescale
Transactions in varying currencies
