Accessing Project or Shell Cost Sheet from Company Cost Sheet

You can access a project/shell cost sheet through the Company Cost Sheet. This lets you access any specific cost information (about the project/shell cost sheet) that "rolls up" to the Company Cost Sheet.

To access the project/shell cost sheet through the Company Cost Sheet:

Go to the Company Workspace tab, and switch to User mode.
In the left Navigator, select Cost Manager, and then select Cost Sheet to open the Company Cost Sheet to access all the CBS projects/shells that the Company Cost Sheet pulls data from.
Note: If the selected source cost sheet has duplicate columns that the system cannot auto-correct, an alert is displayed to the user to take further action.
From the first column, identify the project/shell that you want to access, and select the cell (select the link) to open the cost sheet for that project/shell in a window.

As shown in the image below, the cost sheet window has the following parts:
