Job Costing - Enter Cost Transaction - Post Transactions

Pgm: JCPSTFM – Batch Posting; standard Treeview path: Job Costing > Transactions > Enter Cost Transaction - Post Transactions node

This screen is used to post batches of Job Costing transactions (costs, billings, and committed costs). This screen is reached by clicking the Post Transactions node on the process train along the top of the screen (framed in red above). In addition to posting these transactions to the jobs themselves, the posting procedure also updates the General Ledger and any other affected applications.

NOTE: If you are posting opening balances, and do not want the General Ledger affected, use the Post Opening Balances screen available on the Utilities menu, not this screen.

Post Overhead Transaction – Checkbox

Make sure that the 'Overhead Transaction' checkbox is set correctly. Leave this checkbox unchecked to turn off the calculation and posting of overhead transactions for this batch. If the overhead functionality is not being utilized, this field may be ignored.

Automatic Accrual Reversal – Checkbox

Depending on the setting in JC's Control File screen, this may be checked or unchecked. If posting accrual transactions in this batch, ensure that the setting is on to have an automatic accrual reversal made, or unchecked to require manual reversals of the accrual at a later date.

Preview Posting – Checkbox

Check to view the posting report, for verification purposes, without actually doing a post.

Print Reports Immediately – Checkbox

Check this box to print the posting report immediately after posting. Leave this box blank and the posting report will not print, however it can be printed later using the Print Posting Reports screen under the Utilities menu.
