JC Cost Adjustments

JC Cost Adjustments posts job-cost adjustments that cannot otherwise be entered through Payroll, AP, or other modules and interfaced to Job Cost. Use it for corrections to bad interfaced postings, added costs, month-end accruals, beginning balances, and reviewing or editing allocation-generated CA entries. It is not limited to simple job-to-job moves.

Before you start​

  • Know the jobs / phases / cost types and whether the adjustment is JC-sourced or tied to AP, EM, PR, MO/MS, or another JC Type.
  • Have transaction (incurred) dates ready. Posting date is set later in JC Batch Process.
  • Field tickets accept costs only while status is O-Open.
  • You have permission to enter JC cost adjustments.

Steps​

  1. Open JC Cost Adjustments and create or open a batch.
  2. Set JC Type (for example JC-Job Cost, AP, EM, PR, MO) so the form exposes the right source tabs. The transaction source description still shows as JC CostAdj; JC Type identifies the real source.
  3. Enter job, phase, cost type, amounts, Trans Acct / Offset Acct as required, and the per-line transaction date (actual incurred date).
  4. Complete AP / EM / Material / Payroll tabs when the JC Type needs company, vendor, reference, equipment, material location, employee, or related fields.
  5. Optionally assign a field ticket (O-Open only). Multiple adjustment lines can share one open ticket.
  6. For non-JC-source corrections, enter the back-out of the old information and the corrected entry (the original interfaced record cannot be edited).
  7. Optionally use File > Add Transaction to pull a previously posted transaction matching the batch month into the open batch.
  8. File > Process Batch, then validate, preview, and post in JC Batch Process (posting date applies to the whole batch).
