Transaction Report / Update

Use this screen to define which batch is to be printed and updated.

This screen allows the selection of a range of transaction dates to print and update. It also provides the flexibility of allowing data entry for the next month, but only updating the current month. All sources, or one specific source (EC, AP, PR, ES, or EU), may be selected. The final option allows you to specify the order that information prints on the report; data may be sorted either by job or by equipment.
Note: Equipment Standby (ES) transactions do not post hours to Job Cost.

The Transaction Report provides additional information for multi-company transactions. If the inter-company G/L accounts are invalid for the inventory or job companies, or the Job cost option in the G/L Master File Maintenance direct cost menu is selected, then an error report will print and the transaction will not be included in the update.

If the Post Detail checkbox is selected in Cost Type File Maintenance, the job cost history records will be updated with one history record per transaction line for EU and ES. For example, if a batch contained multiple lines for the same equipment on the same job, phase, and cost type, each transaction line for EU and ES will be separated out in history rather than being summarized into one history record. If the cost type being posted is not set for detail posting, then one history record will be created per piece of equipment per job, phase and cost type.

Important: This report should be retained as a permanent audit record of the company.
