To add a cost code to a product:Use cost codes to organize the products within your project by phase for pricing or subtotaling purposes. Cost codes are usually set up in Customer Maintenance on the Customer / Vendor Specific Part Numbers screen. This instruction shows how to access this screen from Sales Order Entry.
To add a cost code to a product:
From the Sales Order Entry Body screen, use the Inq hot key and then the Customer Part# hot key to display the Customer / Vendor Specific Part Numbers screen.
In the Product Description column, enter the product for which to assign a cost code. If a selection list displays, select the correct product from the list and press Enter.
In the Customer/Vendor Part # column, enter either the part number your customer uses to identify the product or @ to use the system assigned part number.
Use the View hot key, select Cost Code from the list, and press Enter.
For each product, in the Cost Code column, enter the user-defined code that identifies the phase of the project, followed by a decimal point (.), followed by the user-defined code that identifies the type of product, such as electrical or plumbing.
When you have finished adding products and cost codes, press Esc to return to the Sales Order Entry screen.
Use the View hot key, select Cost Codes from the list, and press Enter to display the Cost Codes column.
The system populates the column with the cost codes you added.
