The costs that are expected to occur for each maintenance activity belonging to a maintenance activity definition. Expected costs can be one of three types: Additional costs, Material costs and Labor hour costs.

In Maintenance Planner, expected costs are added to the selected maintenance activity definition at Details > Expected costs. Each type of maintenance costs is represented by its own icon in the elements list:

When maintenance orders are generated for an activity definition, any associated expected costs are copied to the estimates and order lines of the generated maintenance orders in Work Orders .

For the maintenance activity definition costs you can specify whether the actual price (as defined on the product) should be used.

Select Yes in the Details > Expected costs > Use actual prices field.
The actual product price is applied, only if the Product requisition process is applied on the Standard activity definitions level in the Maintenance library.
However, if the Product requisition process is not applied, the Use actual prices option is disabled and the prices as defined at the material costs are used.
