JC Cost Type

This field is only displayed and enabled if the line Type is 8-SM Work Order and the SM work order is for a job.

Entry in this field is not required.

Enter the JC cost type (from JC Cost Types) for this invoice line. Initially defaults as follows:

  • If you entered an SM cost type for the line, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the SM cost type (in SM Cost Types). Default may be overridden.

  • If you did not enter an SM cost type or if you entered an SM cost type, but no JC cost type is assigned to the SM cost type, defaults as blank and must be entered manually.

The system will use this cost type, in conjunction with the phase specified for the work order sequence, to post the costs to Job Cost (via the JC Cost Detail table).

  • If the job specified for the work order is locked (i.e. the Phases on this job are locked box is checked in JC Jobs), this cost type must be set up for the job/phase in JC Job Phases. If it is not, the system displays a warning, but will allow you to save the record. However, you will be required to enter a valid job/phase cost type before you can post the invoice in AP Unapproved Invoice Posting.

  • You can add the cost type it by pressing F5 from this field to access JC Job Phases. Once you set up the cost type and exit JC Job Phases, you can enter the cost type here.)

    Note:

    If the job is not locked (i.e. the Phases on this job are locked box is not checked in JC Jobs), you can use any cost type defined for the phase in JC Job Phases or JC Phases. If you enter a cost type that is not defined for the phase, the system displays a warning, but will allow you to save the line. However, you will be required to enter a valid phase cost type before you can post the invoice (via AP Unapproved Invoice Posting).

  • If the work order scope specified for this invoice line has not been assigned a phase, you will receive a message indicating the phase is missing; however, you will be able to save the record. You will be required to assign a phase code to the work order scope (in SM) before you can post the invoice in AP Unapproved Invoice Posting.

  • If the call type and/or rate template is missing from the work order scope, you will not receive a warning during entry; however, you will be required to assign the call type and/or rate template to the work order scope before posting the invoice in AP Unapproved Invoice Entry.
