Choosing the Right Company

You can use Job Costing for more than one company’s data. Where you have more than one company, then if the computer does not know which company’s data to process, it asks you to select one from a list. This can occur if the computer has not previously processed any company in this session, or if the last company it processed does not have Job Costing defined for it.

The active company is displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen. You can change the company (provided you are within the menu system and not in a specific option) by using the ‘Datafile / Open New Company’ option on the Datafile DeskTop.
