Cost Code Templates allow you to set up templates for materials, subcontractors, general or miscellaneous items, or processes that you use in your jobs. For example, if you construct buildings, you could set up material templates for items such as wood, screws, and drywall; subcontractor templates for painters and stonemasons; general templates for gas or lodging; and process templates for built-in shelves and scaffolding you build yourself.

After your Cost Code Templates are included in a job or phase, you can change the details of the Template for the specific job/phase in the Detail grid or you can open the Cost Code Template and select the Update template check box to save the changes for future use.

You can enter Cost Codes Templates on-the-fly when you create phases or jobs.

If you integrate Job Cost to Purchase Order, you can use Material, Subcontractor, and General Cost Codes to generate purchase orders.
