In the Edit Mode, all editing is done in the Cost Structures section. Cost structures configure how Budgeting calculates total dollars using units, rates, factors, and fixed dollar amounts. To see a full discussion of these terms, see About Budget Line Data.

There are two different methods of editing the cost structure screens: with ranges and without ranges. KBI, Market Segment, Revenue Center and Percent of Base lines are configured using ranges. Fixed and Job Class lines are configured without ranges. Total and Calculated lines do not have a cost structure tab.
