When to use it
Use it to distinguish a particular model from the broader product family.
Key information

- Target cost records the intended cost level for comparison.
- Actual cost records the cost value entered for completed or observed work.
Common relationships

Working with this record
Describe the model and review its associated features, parameters, orders, and units. Confirm the intended model when using it in an order or configuration.

Choosing the right type
Choose Model for a defined offering or variant. It is not a synonym for a CAD file. Item is the engineering definition, and Unit is an individual product unit.
