cost accounts: love \u2018em, hate \u2018em? i\u2019ll tell you what, though: if you’re cost-loading a primavera p6 schedule, you should be using cost accounts.<\/p>\n

now, chances are good you haven\u2019t yet because they\u2019re hard to use. i get it; they\u2019re really inflexible. they were designed so that you set them up once for a whole database, and you can’t have different versions of them for different projects. ergo, mega inflexibility.<\/p>\n

that\u2019s changed in recent times, though. we have a new construct in primavera p6 20.12<\/a> called the assignment code, and it\u2019s a killer tool to put in your arsenal today. using it, i\u2019ll show you how you can make different versions of cost accounts for different projects to solve the inflexibility problem.<\/p>\n

with this new tool, you can make as many groups of cost accounts as you like, each for a different project, and it\u2019s easy to boot.<\/p>\n

you ready? let’s dive in.<\/p>\n

how do we set up primavera p6 cost accounts?<\/h3>\n
