Cost Code Data Definitions are used in the Cost Manager to build the identifier for a row of cost data. Your company may refer to these as Account Codes, Cost Codes or CBS Codes. For example, these could link costs on a project or shell to the General Ledger for Finance.
CBS Codes can be built with one to a maximum of 10 cost code segments. Each segment is defined by a different data definition, so a five-segment CBS Code would require five cost code data definitions.
Cost Code values may be entered one at a time or imported from a CSV file.
To access Cost Code Data Definitions
- Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
- Click Data Structure Setup > Data Definitions > Cost Codes in the left Navigator. The Cost Code Data Definitions log opens.
