The costs that are expected to occur for each maintenance activity belonging to a maintenance activity definition. Expected costs can be one of three types: Additional costs, Material costs and Labor-hour costs.

In Maintenance Planner, expected costs are added to the selected maintenance activity definition at Details > Expected costs. Each type of maintenance costs is represented by its own icon in the elements list:

When maintenance orders are generated for an activity definition, any associated expected costs are copied to the estimates and order lines of the generated maintenance orders in Work Orders .
