Direct unit costs
When items and resources are inserted on the ProjectBudget or planning line:
The Last Direct Unit Cost from the Item card is copied to the Direct Unit Cost (LCY) on the ProjectBudget or planning line.
The Direct Unit Cost from the Resource card is copied to the Direct Unit Cost (LCY) on the ProjectBudget or planning line.
The above is overruled when a Default Purchase Price List is specified in Projects Setup.
The Direct Unit Cost in the ProjectPlanning line is not editable and is therefore for information only.
Purchasing
Items are purchased through the Order Planning action, which creates a requisition line.
The Unit Cost from the ProjectPlanning line is copied to the Unit Cost of the requisition line.
The Unit Cost of the requisition line is copied to the Direct Unit Cost of the purchase line.
This procedure is specific to Advanced ProjectManagement to ensure that the Unit Cost from the ProjectPlanning line flows to the Direct Unit Cost on the purchase line.
For non-inventory items, service items, and resources, you can create a direct purchase order without Order Planning.
In this scenario, the Unit Cost from the ProjectPlanning line is copied to the Direct Unit Cost on the purchase line, in line with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
