  All Modules - The Cost Structure

The scope of work of a construction project is usually broken down into phases. Each phase in turn has a list of  tasks.  To track project expenditures and overall progress cost codes will be assigned to each phase.  Another sub set of these codes are then assigned to each task.  There may also be another list of cost codes for standard expenditures such as travel, consumables, small tools,  etc.  Or you might be working on a maintenance contract where hours must be posted against a work order number or some other document.  Cost codes are then assigned for each maintenance item as needed.  This collection of cost codes is referred to as the Cost Structure.

The Modules use the following arrangement to organize the cost structure:

 

Job Numbers

 Column B Codes

 Column C Codes

 Column A Codes

The top element of the cost structure is the company number.  All of the modules are designed for multiple company numbers.  Under company numbers are the job numbers. Under each job number are three groups of cost codes.  The number of cost code groups you are going to use along with the name, type and size of each group must be defined for each job number.  Cost reports can be printed for any combination and hierarchical arrangement of these cost code groups.
