Cost Set

The cost set is defined per site. Each site gets default cost sets defined automatically when it is created. When working with cost sets, you can redefine a cost set, create a new cost set, and delete any cost set except cost set 1.

Characteristics for Cost Set 1

The following restrictions apply to cost set 1:

• Nothing can be altered or removed, such as costs and templates.
• No calculations can be made.
• All data within the cost set is copied from another cost set.

The above rules and restrictions only apply to cost set 1. All other cost sets and their descriptions may be altered. Cost set 1 holds the standard cost. The standard cost must be calculated in another cost set, since calculations in cost set 1 are not possible. You must copy the desired costs from calculations performed in another cost set via a special copy dialog. Copying cost information into cost set 1 updates the inventory value.
