The Cost Update operation is performed in local currency and reporting currency. The Update Method filter line is used to specify how the costs will be updated. This filter line contains the following options:
- Change with Fixed Value
- Multiply by Factor
When "Change with Fixed Value" is selected, the cost amount is entered into the New Cost filter line.
When "Multiply by Factor" is selected, the factor to be applied for cost update is specified on the Cost Update Factor filter line. The new cost is calculated by processing the actual cost and the factor.
The validity date of the updated costs is specified on the New Cost Start Date line. Once the requested conditions are set on the filter lines and the update operation is started, the new costs calculated update the Cost Amount field of the employee costs.
