About the CBS Detail Window
Following is an overview of the fields and tabs in the CBS Detail window.
The CBS Detail window displays CBS properties. You can add notes or file attachments to the CBS code in this window. You can also specify CBS Breakdowns in this window, which are used in Schedule of Values (SOV) sheets.
The values that are available in the CBS code selection come from the Cost Codes data definitions. To view the list of Cost Code Data Definitions:
- Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
- In the left Navigator, select Data Structure Setup, select Data Definitions, and then select Cost Codes.
The log will show whether the code is a Text Box or Pull-down Menu.
The codes listed in the log are those that are available to use when building the CBS Code segments.
This section discusses the default CBS Detail window. If your company has designed a uDesigner-created Cost Attribute Form, the fields may differ. Fields with a red asterisk are required.
In this field: | Do this: |
|---|---|
CBS Code | Click Select to choose the cost code segments for the CBS code. The Cost Code Selection window opens. |

Additional information about the CBS Detail window:

- If the CBS code segment has a Select button, click the button and choose the segment values from the list.
- If the CBS code segment does not have a Select button, type the value of the segment into the field.
