Modifying a Cost Code Structure

After you create a cost code structure, you can revise it by adding and deleting accounts. When you add accounts, you can either manually type in the account information or you can copy a cost code range to another cost code range within the same job.

The system copies the information in the Account Master table (F0901) or the Chart Type Master table (F5109) from the cost code selected to the new cost code. No option to copy budget information when you copy cost codes to new cost codes within a job is available.

You can delete an account from a job if the job has no associated transactions. If the account has a transaction associated with it, that is, if information exists in the Account Ledger table (F0911), then you cannot delete the account. You can void the account transaction so that the system no longer uses the account information, but the account and its associated information remain in the job records.
