Step by Step — Push a WBS code to cost item pricing

You can push the WBS codes you add to an issue directly to the cost item pricing for the issue, so you do not have to add them again when you configure cost item pricing.

This procedure adds the WBS codes to the cost item pricing. Any items that you add to the pricing are not pushed to the Details page. You can add them manually.

On the Issue Details page, enter the WBS codes you want to use for the issue in the Assigned WBS field.
Click Push to cost item pricing. The Push WBS to cost item pricing dialog box opens.
Select the WBS codes you want to push to the cost item, and then click Add. The items are added to the pricing.

Items that are manually added on the Cost item pricing tab are not automatically added to the details. You must add them manually.
