Expense Cost Lists
You also define expense cost lists with Service Pricing Maintenance.

Cost List for Expenses
The cost list determines the standard cost for expenses recorded in Call Quote Maintenance and Call Activity Recording. The cost list must have the same price list code as the corresponding repair price list specified on the service type. If the system finds no cost, the standard cost for the expense defaults to zero.
Note: Cost lists apply only to expenses. The system derives the cost of labor from the work center specified for standard operations and routing steps or the default service work center in Call Management Control. It determines the cost of items from costs you specify in the item master or costs per site.
Set up cost lists just like expense price lists, using the service category as a base and optionally including work code, service group, and product line. The system uses the same search algorithm, with the call currency and a blank unit of measure. The only amount type you can use with expense cost lists is P for price.
