There are two method one with using Planning form and other without it.

for with out Planning form.

after you have clicked on Show item View, you select the Item Category as service,material .etc from drop down menu.

Then select resource for drop down menu for particular material or service.

Enter plant,qty, price come from master and cost element.

This way you can add more items and then confirm.

For planning form,

first you will have to define it costing model using CKCM

You can define charactistics like Length and Depth in Transaction CT04.in ur case Personnel time and Addtl costs.

Then you can Assign these characteristics to the Costing Model in Transacton CKCM.

You Can Define Derivation rules , where you can derive the valyes relaed to particular service.

Eg. Creat Costing model Area.

Then assign characteristcs length ,width.

then define derivation rules, select source such as service.

then Double Click on Quantity field. it will take you to anothe screen , here you can definf formula like

Area= Length * Width.

Now in ECP you can enter values and check the results.

Try it .
