Changing Job Cost Methodology

Need to modify the Cost Codes in Sage 100 CRE.  We have TOO many cost codes plus when they were originally set up that person used a 5 diget plus 3 decimal XXXXX.XXX cost code.  Much too complicated for our field personnel to get it right.  I want to change this to a 2 or 3 diget system.

Are there any recommended Cost Codes for a Landscape construction company?

This would cover equipment utilization as well.

    You can certainly change to a 2 or 3 digit system, though I would recommend keeping the original cost codes intact as they are already on job cost records created.  Then decide which project(s) you'd like to begin using the new numbering system.

    A good reference for Cost Codes for Landscapers may be taking a look at CSI specifications list and deciding which ones you'd like to use.
