Set Up a Cost Code

Cost codes can be applied to any phase, not just a specific one. To set up a cost code:

Click the Jobs navigation aid on the Customers & Sales Navigation Center and select New Cost Code.Tell me more about cost codes.
Enter the cost code ID and description. The description can be up to 30 characters long.

Note: You can use the Setup Advisor located on the right-hand side of the screen as a guide when setting up your cost codes.
Select a cost type from the drop-down list. Tell me more about Cost Types.
If you want to enter another cost code, click Save and New. Otherwise, click Save and close the window.

Note: Marking the Inactive check box on the Maintain Cost Code window indicates that the cost code is no longer used. This field is checked to make the cost code available for year-end purging. Sage 50 will display a warning message if you try to use an inactive cost code.
