Cost Accounting Infolets

The Overview page of the Cost Accounting work area displays some infolets. These infolets are visible by default. You can configure which infolets should be displayed on the page from My Infolets.

You can set the View By option on the page to view the information for a specific cost organization or for all the cost organizations that you have access to. Only the data corresponding to the primary cost book is used to populate the infolets.

The table lists the infolets available in the Cost Accounting work area.

Note: The Asset Inventory Valuation and Consigned Inventory Valuation infolets are available only if you opt-in for the Use Enhanced Period Inventory Valuation and Gross Margin Reporting feature. These infolets replace the Inventory Valuation infolet.
