Applying Future Costs

If you wish for Future Costs to take effect at the scheduled time, no additional steps are necessary. However, if you prefer these costs to be applied at any point before the scheduled time, this can be achieved by selecting Apply next to a specific product. Alternatively, if you wish to apply all costs simultaneously, you can select Apply All Costs.
