Work Order Billing - Billing Amounts

Billing amounts for time and material work items can be done via two methods. They can be entered directly via the Enter/Edit Work Order screen or they can be accumulated via daily transactions entered in other CMiC modules, such as Payroll or Accounts Payable.

If they are entered via other CMiC modules, each W line cost transaction will have an associated billing amount calculated according to the billing rate table defined on the work order. Payroll transactions may be using the Payroll module to determine the billing amount. This will depend on the setting of the 'Use Payroll Bill Rate For TM or JB Billings' checkbox on the Job Costing Control File screen.

If the transactions are entered directly via the Enter/Edit Work Order screen there is no cost associated with the transaction, just a billing amount.

For T&M types of billing both of these two methods can be combined if required. This allows for the billing of actual costs and the addition of a fee type of line if required.

In both cases the transaction type created is a job cost C type transaction. The difference is that the transaction created via the Enter/Edit Work Order screen has a zero dollar cost amount. Both types of transactions can be viewed by using the Job Billing module’s Transaction Detail screen under the Query submenu.
