Enter a unique code and description for the project cost category that you want to create.
Select the type of cost category for the project cost category that you are creating.
There are 5 options available: {Direct}, {Hour}, {Item}, {Machinery} and {None}. It is very important to select the correct type of cost category, because it will determine whether you can select it while making project entries. For example, if you are making item entries, you can only select cost categories of the type 'Item'.
You can click the 'Add' button to link journalizing code to the cost category or 'Delete' button to delete the journalizing code.
