Overview

Project cost codes are unique identifiers for how your Projects across your Company allocate costs. These codes are segmented by categories which contain specific codes to identify scope of work performed on the project. Project Cost Codes can be either your client's cost code structure or your own internal cost codes for projects.

Admin or Project Executive account types are needed to create and manage project cost codes. All other account types have view only privileges. OwnerIO, RepIO and GCIO workspaces have the ability to create Project Cost Codes.
