Cost Element

Use the Cost Element  field  to override a person's default Cost Structure/Labor Cost elements' association. When making an Assignment or Plan, the drop-down list will include all active Cost Structure / Labor Cost Elements available for the project cost structure.  

This field defaults to the project cost structure if available. If the project cost structure is different from the person cost structure, then it defaults to a combination of the two - project cost structure and person labor cost element - if the person element is valid for the project cost structure.
