A cost code is a follow-up value that can be connected to a project either on header or phase element level. The cost codes are used to divide the total cost of a project into different parts. Each project element line (services, activities, items, assemblies) must be linked to a code from the Cost codes table. If you want to divide the cost price elements further you can define a second cost code that can be used as a sub-category to the first cost code.
Note: If no cost codes have been added to the project and you create project elements, the system will automatically create cost code records according to the cost codes from the element lines.
Item cost codes
In the Item cost codes table you can define default cost codes for an item or an item group. This cost code will be defaulted when the item is added to a project element line.
