Setting Up Cost Object Types

Access the Cost Object Entry form.

Note: To set up non-editing cost object types, complete only the cost object type, description, and edit rule fields.

Cost Object Type

Enter a code that specifies the type of cost object and the type of editing. Types are stored in the Cost Object Types table (F1620) and can be added or modified using the Cost Object Types program (P1620).

Edit Rule

Enter a user defined code (16/ER) that specifies how the system edits or formats a cost object. Values are:

E: Verifies whether the value entered by the user in the Cost Object field exists in the table specified in the Based on Table field on the Cost Object Entry form.

T: Verifies whether the value entered in the Cost Object field exists in the table specified in the Based on Table field on the Cost Object Entry form. Then the system will take the value specified in the Data Item field on the Cost Object Entry form and compare this value to that entered by the user.

U: Verifies against a UDC table specified by the user.

A: Does not verify. It left justifies alpha field.

R: Does not verify. It right justifies alpha field.

N: Does not verify. It fills the numeric field with zeros.

C: Does not verify. It fills the alpha field with blanks.
