Machine

The machine data are taken over from Data Administration. The hour rate is imputed independent from Data Administration.

When a machine from Data Administration is added, the machine hour rate costs (acquisition costs and consumption costs) are always calculated in the project from the year of acquisition - even for the years following depreciation.

If you want the machine hour rate for the current calculation year to be calculated in the project, you must add the machine to the project as a project-specific machine.
