Objective

To import cost codes into your company in Procore with the Imports tool for Windows 10.

Background

The Company and Project Level Admin tools include a 17 Division cost code structure that aligns to the CSI MasterFormat. See What are Procore's Default Cost Codes? However, some companies and projects may have requirements that lead you to create a unique cost code structure. When that is the case, you can import custom cost codes into either the Company level or Project level Admin tool.

Many companies design their cost code structure to align with the CSI MasterFormat. Other companies decide to implement a cost code structure that is unique to their industry, organization, or project environment. Regardless of the structure, you can submit a request to have a Procore representative import the custom cost codes for you.

  • Additional Information:
    • This feature is only available on Windows 10 version 16299 or higher. See Download Procore for Windows 10  or  Update the Windows App. 
    • Only files in CSV format that have been properly filled out are accepted by Procore's Imports tool.
