Definition

Indicator that controls whether the date forms part of the key when the cost estimate is saved.

Use

You have the following options:

  • Save cost estimate without date
  • Include key date (Costing Date From) in the key when the cost estimate is saved. Cost estimates are then saved with the current date (in the calendar year) in the key.
  • Include period start in the key when the cost estimate is saved. Cost estimates are then saved with the period start (except in non-calendar fiscal year) in the key.

Procedure

Set the indicator as required.

Examples

Dependencies

Standard cost estimates must be saved with with period start.

If a cost estimate is saved without date, the results of the previous cost estimate are overwritten by new cost estimates.
