Contains the unit cost for the selected Type and No. on the planning line. The unit cost is in the job currency, which comes from the Currency Code field on the Job Card.

Unit cost is automatically retrieved (in the job currency) of the selected Type and No. if the type is Item or Resource. If the type is G/L Account, unit cost is automatically retrieved if you have set up Unit Cost in the Job G/L account Prices window.

You cannot change unit cost when costing method is Standard.

Important
If you change the unit cost, then the values of the Unit Cost (LCY),Total Cost, and Total Cost (LCY) fields are updated. If you have set up a cost factor for the Type and No. fields, then changing the unit cost also updates the contents of the Unit Price and Unit Price (LCY) fields.

When calculating the Unit Cost (in job currency), unless the unit cost is based on the Job G/L Account Prices, the Unit-Amount Decimal Places and Unit-Amount Rounding Precision fields for the job currency are used.
