Cost Report

The Cost Report is a detailed list of all costs for the system displayed on the Cost Report tab in the General section of the Output window. The content of the Cost Report can be customized in the Output Control window on the Display Parameters tab and the Format & Actions tab.

The grand total cost is shown on the top line, with subtotals for each category on the second line. In the main table area costs for each pipe, junction, and pipe fitting & loss included in the cost calculation are shown.

Output Control Format & Action allows you to hide items that have zero cost, group costs by pipe, or show only the subtotals for each category.
