About CBS Codes
A Work Breakdown Structure (CBS) code is a number that you can apply to a task that matches the specific needs of your business. In Project Management, CBS codes are used to break down a project into manageable pieces that can be more effectively estimated and monitored. CBS codes organize the total work scope of a project. These codes are typically composed of segments that can precisely describe the cost item from a general level down to any number of specific levels. Each descending level represents an increasingly detailed definition of the project work.
A CBS code consists of 1 to 10 segments, each defined in uDesigner as a cost code definition. For example, a five segment CBS code would require five data definitions.
A CBS code becomes a row on a project cost sheet, describing a cost item. Each cost sheet row corresponds to the unique CBS codes that link costs on a project to the General Ledger for Finance.
