When adding a new Cost Sheet either by way of copying from a template or by way of copying from a CBS Shell instance, note the following:
Adding a new Cost Sheet by way of copying from a template
- If the CBS Shell instance does not have the Schedule Type Data Element on the attribute form, the templates that have the option "Enable P6 sources" selected are not available for use. That is to say, you are not able to add a cost sheet that has P6 Sources to the Shell.
- If the CBS Shell instance does have the Schedule Type Data Element on the attribute form, you can select the "Tree" structure cost sheet, only.

- Enable P6 sources
You can select any Cost Sheet with the option "Enable P6 sources" selected, or without the option "Enable P6 sources" selected.
Once a new Cost Sheet is created within a CBS Shell instance, the option "Enable P6 sources" is carried over from the source. The "Enable P6 sources" option is editable as long as no columns are added to the Cost Sheet via the P6 Data sources. If a Cost Sheet contains columns that use P6 Data Sources, you cannot edit (Select or Deselect) the "Enable P6 sources."
