Cost Code Selection

Per Project, against each budget form type, you can define a list of cost codes. Cost codes are set up and maintained by Administrators, click here for more information. 

If Codes are configured, it will replace the code text box with a drop-down select on the budget form.

Codes are unique within the budget form type.

A code can only be selected once per budget form.

Any user who can add / edit a budget line can change the cost code.
