Job Cost Infrequent File Maintenances Overview
Job Cost Infrequent File Maintenances Overview
File maintenance programs enable you to enter, change and delete data. The programs on the Infrequent File Maintenances menu are only used once during installation and set up.
In some instances, FACTS updates information in the infrequent file maintenances during live processing. An example is the Nonstatic Control F/M, which keeps track of the Job Cost period and all the register trace numbers.
Job Cost Infrequent F/Ms menu contains the following programs:
Enables you to create and maintain cost type codes, which are user-defined categories of costs related to jobs.
Use this program to create job class codes, which enable you to categorize jobs for reporting and posting purposes.
Manager/Estimator F/M (JCF955)
Enables you to create codes for project/job managers and estimate writers. The codes are helpful in reports.
Create and maintain various General Ledger posting tables in this program to automate the Job Cost posting process and to gain more detailed accounting.
Enables you to tell FACTS how you want job cost transactions to post to the General Ledger, including which journals and GL numbers to use.
Use this program to set up default information such as default codes for overhead and burden, default estimate cost and billing type, estimate form depth and other print parameters.
