To import cost codes that have not been set up in Job Cost:

1. In Job Cost, from the Tools menu, select Import , Estimates.
2. In the Import Estimates - Print Selection window, select the Allow creation of Cost Codes not on standard Cost Code list check box. This creates new records for cost codes that are in the import file but not on the standard cost code list.
3. After you enter all applicable information for the estimate import, click Start.

This adds cost codes to the job you are importing to but not to the standard cost code list. You must enter the standard cost codes through Setup, Standard Cost Codes.
