# Define cost code setup on project level

If you use cost codes in your project quotations, you need to define the applicable cost code standard and cost code level.

The default cost code standard and default cost code level are defined in the **Advance project management parameters**.

You can change these defaults on a project quotation work breakdown structure.

### Steps

1. Click **Advanced project management**.
2. Click **Project quotation**.
3. In the list, select a project quotation.
4. Click **Advanced WBS**.
5. Click **Edit**.
6. Only one cost code standard can be used per quotation. So, select the root node.
7. Click the **Setup** tab.
8. In the **Cost code standard** field, enter or select a value.
9. Click **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes**
> 
> If you change the cost code standard or cost code level on a project quotation work breakdown structure, and already cost codes are defined, these are lost.
