Costs in Service Management are summarized in general cost categories or elements of total cost. Equipment, materialMaterial, laborLabor, subcontractorSubcontractor, and other Other are the default category names. There are also five Five labor subcategories that can be defined.

1. Select Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Service Management > Invoice Setup > Cost Description.
2. In the Cost Description window, change the default cost category names.
3. Select Save.

While you can change the cost category names, the way costs accumulate remains the same.
For example, you could change cost category 1 from Equipment to Freight. Costs in the Freight category would still accumulate through either Payables or by entering manual costs ("+" button) for the Freight category. Costs in cost category 2 accumulate through Payables, Inventory, or through manually added costs.
While you may change the name of the Labor category, costs in cost category 3 only accumulate through Payroll or by entering manual labor costs.
