If this is a job-related cost code record (no extra ID attached) and the Copy extras without the job check box was selected, this record is dropped from further processing.

Otherwise:

  • If the Create estimates check box was selected and categories are not being used, an estimate is created from the source Total Est Cost displayed in the Cost Code Setup window (Totals tab). The estimate is added to the destination Original and Total Est Cost in the same window and tab, then accumulated upward to the destination job or extra level.

  • If the Create scheduled value entries box is selected and billing is by cost code, a scheduled value entry is created from the source Revised Scheduled Values. The source values are displayed in the input Cost Code Setup window (Contract Info tab). The value is added to the destination Original and Revised Scheduled Value in the same window and tab of the destination cost code, then accumulated upward to the destination job or extra level.
  • If a record with this key already exists in the destination job, processing is complete for this record. Otherwise a copy of this record is created for the destination job and the applicable information is copied to it.
