This feature models cost driver usage as Analytic Items. When an Analytic Item is created, it may then generate additional Analytic Items for the corresponding indirect costs. For example, each timesheet hour logged could generate a quantity and amount of overhead assigned to that activity.</p> <p>This feature does not generate Account Moves. That should be implemented by a separate feature.</p> <div class="admonition important"> <p class="first admonition-title">Important</p> <p class="last">This is an alpha version, the data model and design can change at any time without warning.
