Job Cost Transaction Entry

Typically, transactions are recorded in the source module. For example, invoices received for job materials will be entered in the Accounts Payable module, Time Card Entry for work on jobs will be entered in the Payroll module, equipment usage will be entered in the Equipment Control module, and so forth. This feature is provided as a convenience in recording or correcting transactions in the Job Cost module; information entered here will not be reflected in the corresponding "source" module.

  • You can also scan images in this screen, which may be very helpful, for example, if you have a phone bill that you want to allocate among five jobs. Simply scan the phone bill once, and then enter a transaction detail line for each of the five jobs. After running the update, any one of the five jobs can view the image of this shared phone bill.

  • After entering the date and batch code in the header, the transaction type tabs display (JC - Job Cost, AP - Vendor, EQ - Equipment, IC - Inventory, and PR - Employee) unless an associated module is not present. T+M job transactions will update to the Time + Material module.

  • The software will always keep Job Cost and the General Ledger in balance.

    Note: When entering multiple transaction detail lines, this screen allows you to store one image per header batch + transaction type + transaction date. This image is then accessible from any detail line.
  • You can modify the transaction types using the New, Edit, and Delete buttons in each tab. Click Save to save your entries across all tabs. Click Cancel to exit the tabs without saving changes.
