COSTS is the data file that holds data for all cost detail. The data contained in this file is used primarly on cost detail ased reports (e.g., job cost report in snapshots, unbilled WIP cost report). Each COSTS record has cost detail for a single cost (i.e. Time, Job Cost Check, Expenses, Job Cost A/P, Job Cost Transfer). These amount fields are updated when job cost entries are saved.

LEGEND:

Type
indicates whether a field contains characters (i.e., "char") which contains any combination of letters or numbers, numbers (which has a set number of decimal places), or integers (i.e., numbers that range from 0 to 255 only).

Length
shows the size of a field. Character fields have lengths that are fixed, depending on their purpose. Description and note fields have a length of 32000, which make them variable-length; their actual size depends on how much data is entered into them.

Index
indicates fields that are indexed in the database, which makes them key fields for finding and sorting data. For best performances on reporting and exporting, searches should made on index fields first.
