Job Cost tracks expenses and ties into the General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Payroll programs. You create a Job Cost ID in "Job Cost Entry" (10.7.1). You may manually enter the cost at "Job Cost Entry" or through "Voucher Entry" in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE (7.1.1), or "Journal Entries" in GENERAL LEDGER (8.1.1). The General Ledger Account Number assigned to the Job Cost item (via "Voucher Entry" or "Journal Entries") is listed in the "Journal Entries Batch Proof Report” (8.1.2) and the "Journal Entries Report" in GENERAL LEDGER (8.1.4).

Please refer to "Voucher Entry" in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE (7.1.1) and "Journal Entries" in GENERAL LEDGER (8.1.1) for more information on Job Costing using these programs.

You may set Job Costing to be a mandatory entry for Employees when entering a TimeCard. Every time the Employee Clocks Out, they must enter a Job Cost Id. Please refer to "TimeCard Entry" in POINT OF SALE (1.11) and "TimeCard Maintenance" in PAYROLL (9.1.2.1) or "Contractor TimeCard Maintenance" in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE (7.10.3) for more information.

You must create a Job Cost Id to turn this feature on. If Job Cost is not turned on, it will not be displayed in the Accounts Payable, General Ledger or Payroll programs.
