Parameters
<expression>
The positive or negative amount to add to the Entity's cost. This field cannot be blank.
Parameter Example
The following example increments the Entity cost at the Assembly Bench Location and displays the Entity cost at the Locations before and after.
IncEntCost 5
When the Entity enters the Work Bench 1 Location, the Entity cost is 0, which is the Entity's initial cost. After passing through the Assembly Bench Location and entering the Truck Location, the Entity's cost has increased to 5.
Remarks
When working with new Entities created through a Route statement, use IncEntCost to assign an initial Entity cost. Initial Entity cost defined for an Entity in the cost module applies to entities entering the system through a scheduled arrival, the Create statement, or the Order statement.
