NOTICE

You cannot uninstall a component once it has been installed. You can disable a component which removes the associated reports but leaves the tables and metrics. Once you uninstall all the components in Costing Standard, then all the Top-Level Reports will be added. If the customer does not want to view any of these Top-Level reports, they will have to create a custom project.
