Cost Card History Form
You will reach this from the Cost Cards tab of the Pre-Invoicing Adjustments Form or the Cost Card Review tab of the Invoice Editor.
This is a read-only form that displays a chronological history for a single cost card. The history includes when the card was submitted and approved, and by whom, as well as each adjustment that has been applied to the card. This form is useful to help answer questions such as why the value after adjustments of a certain time or cost card is what it is.
Resource – The resource to which this cost card pertains. This field may be blank if the card is a company-paid cost as opposed to a cost from an expense report.
Current Project – The current project associated with the time or cost card.
Date – The date that the resource performed the work for time cards, or the date that the expense was incurred for cost cards.
Current Expense Type – The current expense type associated with the cost card. See the section on Expense Types for more information.
The information will be displayed in the columns of the grid below:

Drilling Down into Adjustment Details
When viewing the history of a single cost card from the Invoice Editor, it is sometimes useful to be able to see what other cards were included on the same adjustment and the effect of that adjustment on the invoice as a whole. For adjustments that were made on an invoice, this can be accomplished by double-clicking on an adjustment in the Cost Card History form, which will bring up the Adjustment Detail form for that particular adjustment.
Understanding Adjustment Icons
The Cost Card History form may display one or more icons next to each adjustment. A Key is shown at the bottom of the form to explain the significance for each icon. Note that the color of the text of the entry is also significant on this form.

When adjustments are made, adjusters are given the opportunity to specify an explanation. For example, when rejecting a time card you can specify why it was rejected. That value is shown here. In addition, there may be Projector-generated explanations. These include:
