To define expenditure types for cost elements:Expenditure types are used to classify project-related transaction costs that are collected using the Cost Collector then transferred to Oracle Projects.
You must associate in and out expenditure types with each of the five cost elements so that costs for the following inventory transfer transactions can be collected and transferred to Oracle Projects.
Subinventory transfers between locators with different projects or tasks. See: Transferring Between Organizations.
Miscellaneous issue from a project locator. See: Performing Miscellaneous Transactions.
Miscellaneous Receipt into a project locator.
Project related miscellaneous transactions which issue inventory to, or receive it from, Projects.
In expenditure types are used to cost the value of transfers into a project. Out expenditure types are used to cost the value of transfers out of a project.
