1. Choose Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Account Setup > Default Cost Codes.
2. Choose a division from the drop-down list.
3. Mark the appropriate distribution types check boxes. As you mark the check boxes, the Cost Code Number field becomes enabled. You do not need to use all distribution types. By assigning a cost code number in the Depreciation field, the Fixed Assets Management depreciation expense account is credited, and the Job Cost general ledger account is debited upon posting. The asset must be set up as a job with the asset ID being the job number. The asset ID must also have a suffix of 1. The Depreciation field is enabled only if the Fixed Assets Management module is installed.
4. Assign a Cost Code Number and general ledger account to each distribution type.
5. Choose Save.
6. To print the Default Cost Codes report, choose Print.

Setting up overhead accounts (optional)

If you selected the Payroll Overhead Detail Distribution option when you set up posting options (Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Job Cost Setup > Posting Options), you must set up overhead accounts. An overhead detail account must be assigned for each division and each overhead detail code. Based on this setup, the posting process calculates each individual overhead detail cost amount and distributes that cost to a separate general ledger account.

1. Choose Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Account Setup > Overhead Accounts.
2. Enter a Division.
3. Enter the Overhead Detail Code and Overhead Detail Account.
4. Choose Save.
5. To print the Overhead Detail Accounts report, choose File > Print or choose the printer button.
