How can I check or calculate the cost per unit of a particular work item?

Answer
To check the cost per unit of a work item you can use the Rate Analysis editor adding quantities and unit costs for each resource (materials, labour, freight, transport, etc) that builds up the entire work item .

here's a procedure to calculate the amounts per unit for a rate build up in a rate analysis:
A - identify the elements that compose the work item;
B - specify, for each item, the quantity used and the unit rate;
C - add Overheads (%) and the Company Profit (%)
-> see attached image

The Work Item amounts can be calculated using the Rate Analysis module -> see the video tutorial: How to calculate amounts per unit for a work item
