Entering divisions

Divisions allow you to group cost codes. Because Sage 100 Contractor uses divisions to subtotal costs for cost-based reports, many contractors create divisions based on the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) structure. You do not have to rely on the CSI structure for divisions, however, you can create your own.

Note: Although there is no report that prints cost codes by division, you can print the cost codes from the 6-5 Cost Codes window. The report lists the costs codes and divisions assigned to them.

To enter divisions:

  1. Open 6-5 Cost Codes.
  2. In a cell in the Division column, click once, and then press the F6 key to display the Cost Divisions window.
  3. For each division:
    1. Alternatively, you can right-click in a cell and then select the Display Detail/Add Record command to display the Cost Divisions window.
    2. In the Division# cell, enter the number you want to assign the division.
  4. In the Description cell, enter a brief statement about the division.
  5. Click File > Save.
