Link to Purchase Order Processing

When entering a purchase order you can optionally record against each order detail a job and cost code to update. On save of the order detail the system updates the ‘purchase order outstanding’ value on the selected job.

The cost transaction is not written to the job costing system until the purchase order invoice is processed – at which point the job costing system is also updated with a ‘direct cost’ transaction and the invoiced value is added to the accumulated category value recorded on the job and the purchase order outstanding value is reduced. A credit (order or document) updated to job costing generates a ‘direct cost’ transaction with a negative value and reduces the category value recorded on the job.

Update Job Costing on Delivery

Job Costing is usually updated on invoice, the cost or the order being confirmed at this point. You can optionally update the job costing on goods receipt but any later amendments to cost would have to be manually posted into job costing.
