work, define the relationship of a customer to this project, and enter other information about this
projects customer. The customer you choose must be an active customer in the Oracle Receivables
database.

Costing: Costing is the processing of
expenditures to calculate their cost to

each project and determine the GL
accounts to which the costs will be
