What are Procore's default cost types?

A Cost Type is a set of costs identified by a unique abbreviation or label. In Procore's WBS, 'Cost Type' is a flat segment with these default options: (E) Equipment, (L) Labor, (M) Materials, (O) Other, (OC) Owner Cost, (S) Commitments, and (SVC) Professional Services.

In Procore, cost types are a way to identify and classify your project's job costs. They can also be used to generate reports. View the Job Cost Summary Report in View a Report. When managing your cost types list in Procore:

• Your company's Procore Administrator can add an unlimited number of new segment items to the 'Cost Type' segment in Procore's Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). To add segment items to the Company level, see Add Segment Items. To add segment items to a project, see Add Segment Items to a Project.

• If your company is using the tool, you must assign individual cost type segment items to the individual codes in the 'Cost Code' segment. See Assign Default Cost Types To Cost Codes.

In the construction industry, grouping creating relationships between your project's cost codes and cost types is a common practice.
