Adding expected costs to a maintenance activity definition
You can specify the expected maintenance costs in a maintenance activity definition. There are three types of expected maintenance costs: additional costs, material costs and labor hour costs. The expected costs of the selected activity definition are copied to the estimates of the generated maintenance orders in Work Orders .
Go to Maintenance Planner > Definitions & Schedules. Select the activity definition to which you want to add expected costs, before going to Details > Expected costs.
Procedure
1. At Details > Expected costs, select the activity definition to which you want to add expected costs.
2. On the action panel, click Add material costs, Add additional costs or Add labor hours.
3. In the data section, complete the relevant fields.
For a description of these fields, refer to Expected costs fields
4. Click Save.
The expected costs are now added to the selected activity definition. When maintenance orders are generated, the expected costs are transferred to the order lines and estimates of the generated maintenance orders.
* 
Expected costs can be linked to only one of the three types of activity definition: either to an asset activity definition, to a standard activity definition or to a specific activity definition.
