Hello...I just met with my CFO and was wondering if there was a way to change what accounts an individual cost code goes to?  We can't seem to figure that out.  I would think when you set up your codes it would ask you what accounts you want them to go to right?

The retrieval of GL accounts for Job Cost entries is configured in JC Settings. Those options are set at the time of initial configuration of your system based on discussions with your CFO or Controller. The options include retrieval by Job (meaning that a single GL account is assigned to each Job under JC > Setup > Jobs), retrieval by Cost Code (GL accounts are assigned to the Standard Cost Codes when created; creation of actual posting Cost Codes for specific jobs copy the settings from the Standard Cost Codes. The GL accounts assigned to actual cost codes for any job  can be changed once created by going to Setup > Cost Codes; changing the GL account on a Standard Cost Code will only affect actual posting Cost Codes created after the change. Another retrieval method is by Categories, if your system is configured to use Categories. GL accounts are assigned to your Standard Categories, and work similarly to the Standard Cost Codes by acting as a template when actual posting Categories are created for specific Jobs. In the Job settings there is also an option to set a Default GL account which comes into play if a specific Job/Cost Code/Category (depending on your retrieval method) has no GL account assigned.  If you do not see the menu for Job Cost > Settings, you may not have permissions assigned to access that menu item in the Security settings for your user account or assigned security group.
