Outside Processing
Indicate whether to enable the outside processing resource, and if so, enter its item number.
Important: If you specify PO Move or PO Receipt, Oracle Purchasing uses this item when it creates requisitions for your
outside processing resource

Billing
If this resource services requests for maintaining assets, you can optionally enter the billable item in the Billing region Item field.
Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) can use Oracle Bills of Material resources to service requests for asset maintenance. Identifying the billable item for the resource enables eAM to determine the cost of work performed by the resource for the item.

Enable the Costed check box to collect and assign costs to this resource, and if so, optionally enter an activity for the resource. You cannot view costing information if the Privilege To View Cost Information function is excluded from the responsibility. You cannot update costing information if, in addition, the Privilege To Maintain Cost Information function is excluded. You can use activities to group resource charges for cost reporting purposes.

If this resource is costed, enter a variance account (general ledger account) to accumulate resource rate variances for a job or repetitive schedule. For outside processing resources, this is the purchase price variance account.
To define cost type and resource rate associations:
1. Navigate to the Resource Costs window. Do this by choosing the Rates button from the Resources window.
Note: You cannot view costing information if the Privilege To View Cost Information function is excluded. You cannot update costing information if, in addition, the Privilege To Maintain Cost Information function is excluded.

2. Enter or select a cost type to associate with each resource overhead rate.

3. Enter the Resource Unit Cost, that is, the resource's current standard cost per UOM.

2. Enter or select the cost type for the resource. The Allow Updates check box indicates whether the cost type is defined as updatable.

3. Enter or select the overhead to associate with the resource. For example, you could assign resource cost as dollars per hour. If you enter a new resource, you can directly enter a frozen unit cost. However, you cannot directly update the frozen unit cost for a previously entered resource.
