How costing codes (CC) work

When a job synced or submitted, Tātou applies a costing code based on the following hierarchy;

  1. Task costing code (optional if task type = client, mandatory if task type = internal)
    If available then applied > Manage Admin > Tasks

  2. Block costing code (optional)
    If available then applied

  3. Location costing code (optional)
    If available and no block costing code then applied

  4. Client costing code (mandatory)
    If no block or location costing codes then applied to all client jobs > Manage Admin > ClientsTask costing code (mandatory)
    Mandatory and applied to all internal jobs > Manage Admin > Tasks

For example;
