cost plan breakdown

[sudheermandala2]

Hi,

What is the relation between cost plan and cost plan breakdown?

After creating the quarterly cost plans how it was creating the cost plan breakdowns ?

Thanks

Your cost plan expresses the definition of the timeline for the planned costs.
"We'll be paying 10,000 / month for all of Q1"

Cost plan breakdowns are the expression of the time intervals themselves
One record for January at 10,000
One record for February at 10,000
One record for March at 10,000

So any of the interfaces that shows your cost plays over time is actually visualizing Cost Plan Breakdown, and not Cost Plan.

So if we're importing cost plan data from another system, is it safe to assume we would need to import cost plan records for each cost type first and then import cost plan breakdown records to apply the periods?
