Initial Cost This field allows you to define the initial entity cost for an entity which enters the system through a scheduled arrival, a CREATE statement, or an ORDER statement. ProModel accepts expressions in this field and evaluates them at translation.
Please note
When you implicitly create new entities through a ROUTE statement, ProModel does not add an initial cost to the entity. To add an initial cost, use the INCENTCOST statement. See IncEntCost for more information.
