Processing default cost method assignments to method definitions

Use this page to create a new method definition version from the defaults.

IMPORTANT: If a cost item is already assigned a method in the given method definition version, the system will skip the cost item. You cannot use this page to update or change an assignment. To update to an assigned method to an already-mapped cost item, go to the Cost Methods by Cost Item page. You will need to do this after you create a new version using this page. To remap defaults (for example, to change the methodology/ies in which you want to calculate costs, whether to test a new scenario or correct a mistake), you need to re-setup cost pool table defaults, department assignments, revenue code assignments, revenue code department exceptions, and then return to the Process Defaults Into Method Definition page and type in a new version number.

To process defaults into method definitions:

1. In the Guide View, click Methods and Assumptions > Methods > Process Defaults Into Method Definition.
