Cost Code Set Detail

The Cost Code Set Detail page lists each cost code in the selected account set. For each cost code, the page shows:

  • Code (number)

  • Cost Code Name

  • Description

  • Active check box (checked for active/billable or unchecked for inactive/non-billable). Active Cost Codes will appear in the Template to be mapped to a BuildPro task; Non-Active will not appear.

  • Modified (Changes to Y if you make a modification on the page. This lets you know which Cost Codes you have made changes to.)

Cost Code List Tab

To add cost codes: (Integrated BuildPro companies should add Cost Codes (Account Codes) via integration)

  1. Go to the bottom of the page, where you will see 3 blank cost code rows.

  2. Enter a Code, Cost Code Name, Description, and click the Active check box for each new cost code

  3. Click the Update Cost Codes button.

 

To edit cost codes:

  1. Click in the Cost Code Name or Description box of the cost code you want to change.

  2. Change the text to the correct information (Y will be displayed in the Modified column when you click out of the check box).

  3. Click the Active check box to make the cost code active or inactive.

  4. Click the Update Cost Code button.

 

To delete cost codes:

  1. Click the next to the cost code you want to delete.

  2. If you try to delete a cost code that is present on a job or a template, BuildPro will not allow you to delete that cost code. An error page opens that lists the jobs and/or templates on which the cost code is being used.

  3. If the cost code is not present on a job a or template, the cost code will be deleted.

 

This page allows the user with full security access to update, add, or delete cost codes. An integrated user will have less access to update the cost codes than a non-integrated user. When the user chooses an account set from the Cost Code List page, the user will be directed to the integrated or non-integrated version of the Cost Code Set Detail page.

  • Integrated Version: If the user has account sets that came over to BuildPro through integration, the user will only be able to change whether the cost code is active (billable) or inactive (non-billable).

  • Non-Integrated Version: A user with account sets that have been manually entered and who has full security access will be able to update cost codes, add new cost codes, or delete cost codes, as well as change cost codes from active to inactive.

 

The cost code management function is controlled by a security role, which allows the user to view, add, delete, or change cost codes based on the role functions selected by the system admin. The cost code functionality prevents the user from adding, changing, or deleting cost codes for an integrated account set. If the cost codes came over to BuildPro through integration, the user can change the Active flag, but all other changes must be made through integration.
