      Before You Begin

      Required: Valid SRM account, valid login credentials and access permissions, existing job code, existing customer, existing site, existing expense account

      Context

      Associate a job cost code with a customer/job site when you need to enable job cost reporting for that site.  This process is the final step in setting up SRM for job costing.  See: "About Job Costing in SRM" for more information about job costing. 

      Associating a job cost code with a job site enables you to funnel the expense and revenue information related to that code and site to the Job Cost Report that acts as a miniature financial statement related to that job site. 

      To associate a job cost code with a job site, you must add the job cost code to the site manually the first time.  To do so, you must first create a job cost budget estimate and set up the quantity of the job cost item being associated with the customer/site along with the budgeted amount for the code. 

      Once you have added the job cost budget estimate, you can view the job cost codes for the job at any time.
