Managing cost taxonomy display names
aPriori provides a set of standard names for fields and their categories in the Cost Taxonomy. For example, the name Piece Part Cost applies to the field which is the sum of the fields named Total Variable Costs, Period Overhead Allocations, and Margin. These field names are displayed throughout the aPriori application, such as on cost table tabs and in reports.
You can customize these names to:
• Reflect the terminology in use at your company. For example, you may want to rename the Margin field to Profit. Or the category of Variable Costs may be referred to as Fluctuating Costs in local jargon.
• Better represent the use of the field at your company. For example, your company may use the Extra Costs field to represent rush fees, so you can rename this field to Rush Fees.
