Cost Sequences

When you set up the cost structure for jobs and projects, you set up cost codes and cost types as tasks in a work breakdown structure (WBS) for a job. The cost code identifies a specific task within a job. The cost code is equivalent to the subsidiary account that you use for most general ledger accounts. The cost type identifies specific costs within the activity, such as labor or materials. The cost type is equivalent to the object account that you use for most general ledger accounts. Note that the cost structure for jobs reverses the relationship of the subordinate accounts from the relationship present in most general ledger accounts.

See "Components of the Cost Code Structure" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Job Cost Implementation Guide.

You use the Sequence by option to specify how to sequence the data in the Project Status Inquiry form. You can sequence records by the cost code and then the cost type, or by the cost type and then the cost code. The value that you specify for the account sequencing also controls how the system totals the accounts by level of detail in the Project Status Inquiry form.

Note: If you specify an account range in the Account Range Name field, you must select in the Sequence by field the same cost structure that you assigned to the account range. For example, if you set up the account range to use the Cost Type/Cost Code sequence, you must select the Cost Type/Cost Code list item in the Sequence by field.
