Vista 2021 R2 delivers on user-requested Job Billing enhancements, fixes, and other improvements.

Associate Material Orders with Job Cost Field Tickets

You can now assign field tickets to material order items, enabling you to link related costs to specific work activity on a job, and facilitate owner billing.

To enable this functionality, a new Ticket field was added to the IN Material Order Entry form. When you enter a material order item, you can associate it to a field ticket for the specified job/contract; however, the field ticket must be Open. You cannot post to field tickets with a Closed, Approved, Rejected, or Billed status.

Once you post the material order batch, the system automatically creates an entry on the Cost Detail tab of JC Field Ticket for each material use transaction, with a Source of IN MatlOrd.

Note: Costs associated with approved field tickets only impact T&M billings; therefore, assigning field tickets to material order items for a job is only useful if the job's contract/contract item has a bill type of T&M or Both.

For more information about associating field tickets with material orders, see IN Material Order Entry. For more information about the Field Tickets feature, see JC Field Ticket Form.
