Cost codes (or job codes) can be defined in the system to represent an internal or external code which is used to represent a fixed activity or cost category.

Cost codes can be entered manually or can be imported using the standard Microsoft Dynamics AX tools or the Business Integration Solution (BIS).

• Cost code can be based on an external standard or list.

• Cost code can also represent an internal code which is used for reporting and analysis.

• Cost code must be linked to a cost code standard. The combination of cost code and cost code standard is unique.
