Setting Up Cost Code Templates
A cost code template is a predefined list of the cost code and budget structure that applies to a plan. The system uses cost code templates during the Lot Start process to copy cost codes and budgets to lots. The system creates accounts for the lot in the form of cost codes, cost types, and other account category code information, such as trade codes and construction stage codes.
You can set up as many cost code templates as necessary. For example, you might set up different cost code templates and assign them to each plan or lot in a community. Alternatively, you might set up one cost code template and assign it to all communities that use the same cost code structure.
