Unit Cost Field, Resource Table

Specifies the current cost of one unit of the resource.

The value is calculated based on what you entered in the Direct Unit Cost and Indirect Cost % fields, as follows.

Unit Cost= Direct Unit Cost * (1 + (Indirect Cost% / 100))

The value in the Unit Cost field may also be updated as a result of the Implement Standard Cost Change batch job, which you use after you have calculated new resource costs as a result of cost changes in Assembly BOMs.

You can change this amount, but be aware that if you do change it, the direct unit cost and indirect cost percentage are not adjusted.

For an employee with an annual salary of LCY 104,000, the direct unit cost per hour is LCY 50.00. The employee's benefits equal 30% of the salary. The following table shows that the unit cost is LCY 65.00.

Cost Type	Cost
Direct Unit Cost	LCY 50.00
Indirect Cost %	30%, which = LCY 15.00
Unit Cost	LCY 65.00
