Change Cost Code Description at the Project Level
BACK - Lesson 8 | Current Lesson 9 | Lesson 10 - NEXT |
When a new project is created in Procore, it inherits its cost codes (e.g. 200 Metal Joists) from the Company level. However, project managers may want to change the description of a cost code to use a more project-specific label (e.g. 200 Metal Joists and Bearers) to prevent confusion around which cost codes should be used on a project. For cost codes that are inherited from the Company level, you can only change the description of a cost code at the Project level; you cannot change the cost code number. However, if you create a new project-specific cost code at the Project level (denoted with blue text), you can change both the cost code number and description.
- Navigate to the Project level Admin tool.
- Under 'Project Settings', click Cost Codes.
- Select a cost code in the Project Cost Codes list.
- Click Edit.
- Enter a new description.
- Click Update.
- Verify the change.
