    Hi Lally,

    If you hover the mouse over the field name, it will show you the help text. The field is not used for any difference in application behavior. It is only used for reporting purposes.

    Thanks Andre

    But MS docs didn't have any real time explanation with some examples/ numbers to understand the difference .

    Could you throw some light on this ?

    Hi,

    This field is only used for reporting purposes if you want to report your costs as variable or not. For example electricity is variable cost and RM can be fixed cost.
