The foundation of job costing starts at your cost code. 

To begin, start by adding a cost code:

1. Go to Start > Administration
2. Click Company Setup, then click Cost Codes
3. Complete the following fields to create your cost code:
4. Assign a Cost Code number
5. Provide a description for your cost code
6. Select the cost type it should be available for: Labor, Equipment, Material, Subcontractor, and/or Other.
7. Click Save Data. Once saved, the new cost code will be available in your company database of cost codes.

3. Select Configure Project > Display/Hide Cost Codes
4. Select the cost codes, under the DISPLAY column, to activate for that project
