Valuation of Costing Items 
In unit costing, you enter specific costing information manually in the form of costing items such as materials, internal activities, and business processes. Other costing items are determined automatically, including overhead items (category G) and process costs (category X).
The sources of the values for the costing items are shown in the table below.
