A cost category is a category in which costs or revenues can be registered, such as ‘purchase ground’, ‘architect’ or ‘sale houses’. All financial activities within a project will be distributed to a cost category. Within all projects that are registered you can use the same cost category.
A cost category belongs to specifically one roll up, in which linked cost categories are grouped (see also Roll Ups). Roll ups belong to master roll ups which show an even more general view of cost categories. (see also Master Roll Ups).
