This program is an add-on to the ACCPAC Plus Order Entry system. A menu choice called "Process Job Costing Data" is added to the Order Entry menu.

When you post invoices in O/E with job related detail lines, the program passes that information into Job Costing and Accounts Receivable.

How Does it Work?

The "Process Job Costing Data" program is run after the O/E Day End Process is performed. The program checks all invoices posted since the last time the Link program was run by reading the Invoice/ Credit Note Audit List. The Link creates a Job Costing billings batch and allows billing to the job-phase levels. The Link installation program has also adjusted A/R Invoice Posting program to no longer create the J/C billings batch because it is now done directly.

How does the program know what job and phase the invoice lines refer to?

The job number being billed must be the same as the O/E order number being invoiced. If the order number is 5000, then the job being billed is 5000. The order can be added to and invoiced as many times as you want. The job can be defined in Job Costing before or after the order number is entered.
 

Each item detail line on the invoice has a category code from Inventory Control. Special category codes that begin with a "J" are defined to signify a job related detail. By entering a category code "JE1" on the detail line, the program treats this as a job related detail and bills it to phase "E1" in J/C. Items in inventory can be setup as non-stocked items to be used in job related invoices.

The program does not change O/E programs in any way.

What is required for the O/E Link?

The Link requires Job Costing 6.1A and O/E 6.1B
