[JC] JC Cost Adjustments

Created by Crystal Millington, Modified on Fri, 26 Dec at 2:49 PM by Crystal Millington

Job Cost Adjustments are used to post job costs that cannot be entered or corrected in other modules (such as AP or Payroll) and interfaced to Job Cost.

Common uses include:

Correcting costs posted to the wrong job/phase after a module is closed (e.g., Payroll)
Posting costs that don’t go through AP (e.g., insurance)
Creating month-end accruals to reverse later
Adjusting costs created by Cost Allocations
Entering beginning job cost balances during setup

Selecting the Adjustment Type

All adjustments post with the source JC CostAdj, but the JC Type identifies the original source and controls available fields.

Choose the appropriate type:

JC – Job Cost
CA – Cost Allocations
AP – Accounts Payable
EM – Equipment
MO – Material Orders
MS – Material Sales
PR – Payroll
IC – Intercompany

Related tabs (AP, Equipment, Material, Payroll) allow entry of reference details for reporting only—they do not update the original module.

Transaction vs. Posting Dates

Transaction Date: Actual date the cost was incurred (entered per line)
Posting Date: Date the batch is posted (same for all lines)

Both dates are stored in JC Cost Detail (JCCD) and are used for reporting.

Offset Account

Not required if the batch nets to zero
Required if the batch does not net to zero
