specify a new cost on existing cost detail lines and/or create new lines.

and New Cost fields.
- Repeat step 6 and add as many new cost detail

zero. (You can only remove new lines that you have entered, by using the

Inventory Part
window header, and verify the changes in the Costs/Inventory Value tab.
If you select the line and right click and click Cost
