Entering Cost Account Information

Access the Change Request Entry form.

Note:

If the Change Request Entry form does not display the cost fields, click the Display tab and select an option that includes cost accounts. In addition, if you selected accounts by using the Acct Master Pick option on the Form menu, the system completes the Cost Account Number, Cost UM, Cost Description, and code fields.
