Assign cost elements to OBS nodes

You can assign specific effort-based cost elements to functional organizations. When you do this, the functional organization can only enter estimates for the assigned cost elements in a work package.

To assign cost elements to a functional organization in the OBS, do the following:

Procedure

  1. Search for the effort-based cost element and copy it to the clipboard.

  2. Open the OBS element, click the Related Data tab, and then click Paste from the work area toolbar in the Applicable Cost Elements section.

    The system assigns the effort-based cost element to the OBS element.
