How to set up a generic cost manager for use by shells?

Hello,

I am poring through the administrators and uDesigner guide as well as the online help functions. I want to set up a generic cost manager. Everything tells me to set up a picker and then create the cost attribute form. Deploy then use. I'm confused and it doesn't look that easy.

I've created a data element with the picker data I need. I've added it to the cost attribute form. Assigned a picker and deployed. I've checked permissions and I still can't see anything about cost sheets to be set up or templated.

Where am I going wrong?
