What are the steps to properly link Cost Line to Technical Functionality

[BWilcox]

We need to be able to capture cost at the Technical Functionality level as this aligns to our budget lines.  The software Technology is the realization of the Technical Functionality as described in either a map or catalog.  

I know that we can create a MetaAssociation to link the Cost Line MetaClass to the Technical Functionality MetaClass, but I am unsure of how to add the menu item so that the cost line is able to be added for each Technical Functionality within a catalog or map.

Is there a reference for the proper way to Link these MetaClasses and have the linked MetaClass selectable from the menu?

Thanks

HI Bruce, the simplest way to do this is to add the Technical Functionality MetaClass as a Sub Meta Class of "Structured Cost Object" Abstract MetaClass.

The Technical Functionality will then inherit all the PropertyPages and associations.
