If you have cost codes that are very similar, you can set up the information for one cost code and copy that information into other cost codes. To copy cost code information from an existing cost code to a new one, you need to:

  1. Click the Jobs navigation aid on the Customers & Sales Navigation Center and select View and Edit Cost Codes.

  2. Select the cost code you want to copy and click Open.

  3. Change the Cost Code ID to the new ID you want to use for the new cost code.
  4. Click Save. The new cost code is saved with information from the cost code you copied from. You can make any changes you want to the new cost code's information.
