Define Cost Items

In this step you define

cost items.

Training and Event Management uses cost items to determine and represent the costs incurred by business events. Cost items are also required when you want to transfer event costs to Cost Accounting, for internal activity allocation for instructors, and for determining a price proposal.

You store cost items for resources, resource types, business events, and business event types.
