11.3 - Cost Codes

This option can be accessed via Home > Codes > Cost Codes menu, via the search bar at the top right of the screen, or directly from the ribbon in the Daily Reporting dialog.

This tool is used to define cost items, that can then be used in the Daily Costs tool in the Daily Reporting package.

Figure 242: Cost Codes Dialog

Description: A description of the Item or Service.

Cost Code: Appropriate cost code. This will be designated by the user / bid creator.

Value: The unit cost of the item or service.

Cost Schedule: User can choose the following options from a drop-down menu: Fixed, Daily, Hourly, Variable, Footage or Miles.

Group: Appropriate group code. This allows the user to see which costs are associated with the same group.

Type: User can choose the following options from a drop-down menu: Tangible, Intangible or Consumable.

Vendor: Enter the vendor’s name. This allows the user to group costs by vendor.

If any cost codes have been sent to the well using the Bid Sheet tool, the name of the bid will appear in the Linked Bid box.

The Search box can be used to filter the results table.

To access bid sheets the operator must exist on both the local and the remote server. The user must also have recently connected to the server database via the Real Time Data Exchange or Remote Data Fetch.

The Set to Default button will set the cost codes to match the values entered in the Activity / Cost Code Defaults (See Code Defaults).

The Import from Oasis button is only visible when the Cost Codes dialog is accessed via the Daily Reports dialog. The button allows the user to import cost codes from an external Oasis ERP database. The Oasis endpoint credentials need to be set up in Oasis Credentials.

Once complete, the data entered in this section will be available to select in the Daily Costs section of the Daily Reports.

The window can also be locked using the checkbox in the bottom left. When locked it is not possible to change any of the data in the window. If a password has been set in the associated Operator Properties, it will need to be entered before the window can be unlocked.
