Reliance is laying down fiber optics for their broadband
portfolio in Mumbai. They have (to name a few)
1. Bought fiber optics (External)
2. Hire Labor to dug service territories (External)
3. Dispatch Engineers to supervise the operation (Internal)
Now each one represents a cost that will be incurred by
Reliance broadband. For 1.&3. you will create a cost element
and assign it to a GL account while 3. can be made as IO.
So a primary cost element
a. is a cost carrier
b. had subsequent GL account
c. can be directly posted to
while a secondary cost element
a. is a cost carrier
b. is active for controlling only
