Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the Cost Accounting I, II, III, and IV functionality?
I need specifics I found a general description on line but frankly based on information provided I cannot figure out what is technically different. For example it says cost rates are available in Cost Accounting III. However I setup and environment with just Cost Accounting I licensed and I have access to use cost rates.
