A cost event might be an issue. It might be tied to material, or a potential change order. It is designed to be whatever you, the contractor, would like to track within a cost code that already exists. This allows you to not have to make a new cost code to track whatever the cost event might be, while still gathering useful information for the time and materials ticket. 

To access a cost event:  

1. Access job cost by clicking “OPEN” under the job cost module. 

2. Click the “COST” tab on the upper left hand corner of the screen. 

3. Click “COST EVENT” on the upper left side.
