Modifying a Cost Estimate Type on an Item Record
For items that support more than one cost estimate type, users can change the cost estimate type on the item record. A mass update can be used to update the cost estimate type for many items simultaneously. See Item Cost Estimate Type Mass Update.
The cost estimate type on an item record is the default for all transaction lines with that item. Users with the Override Estimated Costs on Transactions permission can change the cost estimate types on item transaction lines. See Modifying a Cost Estimate Type on a Transaction.
