Adding new cost codes to an existing cost code structure

You can add new cost codes to an existing cost code structure in Sage 100 Contractor by adding a new row to the bottom of the grid. When you save and then re-open 6-5 Cost Codes window, Sage 100 Contractor sorts the new cost code into its correct position in the existing structure.

Tip: Before adding a new cost code, analyze your existing cost code structure to make sure that the new cost code fits into the existing structure correctly.

Note: Sage 100 Contractor only requires entries in the Cost Code#, Description, and Division columns. You only need to add more information as required for your business.

To add a new cost code to an existing cost code structure:

1 Open 6-5 Cost Codes.
2 Scroll to the bottom of the window, and add a new row by placing your cursor in the last cell of the last row and pressing the Enter key.
3 In the Cost Code# cell, type a number.
4 In the Description cell, type a description.
5 In the Division cell, click the drop-down arrow and select a cost code division.
6 From the File menu, select Save.
