When you want to add costs into the route, the cost category will have a price, this price is per hour and can be set on the route, so if you want to cost $10 an hour setup, you create a setup category and assign it to the work centre/route and activate the cost - do an estimation of the works order and you will see it. These can be split across numerous different setup types, run time types etc so you can define costing per work centre/item group etc. Indirect costs can then be applied to these from the costing sheet.

Quantity of work centres would be 2 on teh routing line, your run time would have a price of $10. This would give you your $20, put it into the route and run a price calculaiton for the item to see it.
