Override Cost Code

Explanation

Use this activity to override a cost code on the work task or on a singel cost line. This can be useful whenever there is a specific business requirement for a work task or even a single work task transaction to be accounted in a way that differs from the cost code that has been assigned. For example, part of the work may not be invoicable, perhaps it will be taken as goodwill cost. In such situation, the cost code can be overridden to one that better suits the situation.

When a cost code is overriden, the code string of effected work task transactions may have changed. If so, the work task transaction will be evaluated if reposting is needed when it is transferred to finance the next time. It is also possible to run the funcion Check and Update Accountings to directly update the postings.
