Creating Cost Elements
To record a new kind of expense in Unanet, an Administrator would create a new
Expense Type and either map it to an existing Cost Element or create a new Cost
Element. Expense Cost Elements always follow the Project Cost Structure set on the
Accounting tab of the Project Profile.
