COST CATEGORY BASICS RELATED TOPICS Entering Cost CategoriesTo enter a Cost Category, follow these steps:
Data FieldsEnter the following information for each Cost Category:Name-- Type in a brief name for this cost category. This is the text that will appear in clairvoyant fields. Included In-- Goldenseal displays the Category Systems that use this category. To add a category system to the list, you'll need to open a Category System and add this category to it. NOTE-- Goldenseal 1.08 and earlier included a Tax Field field in each category. In later versions you
include categories in Income Tax Field calculators instead. Using Cost CategoriesYou can use a simple list of cost categories, or you can group them into a Category System.Categories appear in all expense transactions, in Estimates, in Sales, and in many other transactions. Each time you enter a transaction, the Category field shows a list of categories from the category system in the supplier account or job account (the
choice depends on which makes most sense for that type of transaction). If there is no Category System, the field shows all categories. If you use a Category breakdown or Item breakdown, you'll also be able to itemize by category. When you make job cost reports, you'll be able to see estimated and actual costs by category. To enter a category from a different Category System, follow these steps:
