Work Centre
This will default this Work Centre code throughout the Cost Sheet. Leave blank unless you are equating a Work Centre with a whole cost sheet.

The Work Centre can be entered on the individual Cost Sheet transaction lines or will default from the Activity Code.

Price Code
This sets the default retail price code for all the Cost Transactions if you are pricing from the individual Cost Sheet transaction lines.
You can change the Price Code by entering a new code. A message comes up.

Job Code
Select a valid Job Code from the drop down. Valid jobs are the Header or SubJobs linked to the Quote Header.

It is possible to have various parts of an accepted quote going to different jobs as long as they have a Header/SubJob relationship.
If all Cost Sheets are going to one Job, then enter this on the Quote Header and leave the Cost Sheet Job blank.

Required Date
This is a notational field only
