Creating Unit Cost Estimates with Reference
When you create a unit cost estimate, you have the option of copying the costing data from existing cost estimates. The object for which you are creating the unit cost estimate determines which existing cost estimates you can access.
For example, if you create a unit cost estimate for a sales document, you can copy the costing data from another sales document.

|---|---|
Production order | Material |
Sales document | Other sales document |
Work breakdown structure (WBS) element | Other WBS element |
