Cost types allow you to arrange costs into categories. Each cost code acts as a controlling account for the nine cost types. Cost types can be selected and defined from several menus, including 4-4 Vendors (Accounts Payable), the Invoice Details tab, and 6-3 Job Costs. Cost types will be displayed on grids throughout the system.
Only nine cost types are available in Sage 100 Contractor. Cost types 1 through 5 are preset by the system. Cost types 6 through 9 can be defined by the user.
