In this session, the estimated and actual cost price for customized items can be compared.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs0100m000#tipcs000.fciv" role="formfield">Include Fixed Costs in Project Valuation</GUIRef> check box is selected, both fixed costs and variable costs are included in the estimated and the actual costing data in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/cpr/ticpr0107m000" role="session">Items - Costing (ticpr0107m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs0100m000#tipcs000.fciv" role="formfield">Include Fixed Costs in Project Valuation</GUIRef> check box is cleared, the fixed costs are not included in the costing data in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/cpr/ticpr0107m000" role="session">Items - Costing (ticpr0107m000)</GUIRef> session. Reason is that if this check box is cleared, fixed costs cannot be booked, and are therefore not included in the actual costs. Because a comparison between the estimated and actual costing data is not reasonable if fixed costs are missing in the actual costs, the fixed costs are also excluded from the estimated costing data.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>Material costs are always variable. Surcharges on labor costs can be either fixed or variable.</Paragraph>
