Miscellaneous Job Cost is primarily used to TRANSFER JOB COST AMOUNTS from
ONE JOB and/or COST CODE to ANOTHER. This is usually the result of posting a
Record to the WRONG Job Number or Cost Code or both.

Another possible use for this tool is to move cost from a JOB to INVENTORY, or FROM
INVENTORY to a JOB. Also, if cost was MISAPPLIED to JOB, it can be REMOVED and
charged to a General Ledger Account.

On the Job Cost / Misc Job Cost Menu make Selection #1 - Enter Misc Job Costs

The LINE ITEM SELECTION SCREEN will appear with any records previously entered
BUT NOT YET UPDATED, as in the example below:

 

In the above example you can Click on Line # 1 or Line #2 to bring up those Records for CORRECTION, or you can Click on the BLANK LINE at bottom of Grid to bring up an EMPTY
SCREEN so you can ADD A NEW MISC. JOB COST Record.

The AMOUNT and HOURS Boxes at lower left show a RUNNING TOTAL of all entries in this
File. In the case of Job Cost Transfers these blocks should be BLANK because all entries
should OFFSET each other. For other purposes you can use these for CONTROL TOTALS.

The WINDOWS Menu at upper left make the GENERAL LEDGER ACCOUNTS, DEPARTMENTS
and JOB MAINTENANCE functions available to you without leaving this Screen.

After filling in the Record, the Screen looks like the below example:

 

Click on the above MENU ITEMS, BOXES and BUTTONS for explanations.

If you have an entry that is SIMILAR to the LAST ENTRY you made, it is FASTER to use the Edit
Menu or F2 to DUPLICATE the PREVIOUS RECORD, then make changes.

Keep in mind that a POSITIVE AMOUNT Entry will DEBIT the Job Cost Account you picked from
the Drop Down List Box (only Job Cost Accounts show in this Box), and will CREDIT the
Offsetting Account you entered.

Of course, a NEGATIVE AMOUNT Entry will do the REVERSE, Credit the Job Cost Account and
Debit the Offsetting Account.
