Allowable Cost Types for Mobile Timesheets

The cost types that you allocate for timesheet entry in the Jobpac Connect web application determine the cost centers that are available for selection when a user records time in the mobile application.

For example, if you only allocate the cost type 'Labour', you will only be able to see cost centres with the cost type 'Labour' in the mobile application. The cost centres that have other cost types will not be available for selection.

We urge you to exercise caution when you adjust cost type settings as they will affect the way you operate in both the web and mobile applications. Please contact your Jobpac consultant if you need help in configuring cost type settings.

To set up cost types for mobile timesheets:

  1. Log into your Jobpac Connect account.
  2. Select System Admin > Define Companies
  3. Select Cost Types to display the Cost Types Maintenance screen.
  4. Select Modify/Add Cost Types.
  5. Select OK in the Cost Type Maintenance screen and leave the Job Group Code field blank.
  6. Select OK again in the Cost Type Maintenance screen.
  7. Select Yes in the Confirm dialog.
  8. Enter "L" in the Time Entry field for the required cost types.
    The cost types for which you enter "N" will not be available in the Jobpac Mobile application for selection for any job in that costing work ID.
