The “Time,” “Amount,” and “Total” fields show the three cost sums from the “Cost, Entered” field on the lines in the table part. The three figures are the cost sums of time activities, amount activities, and a total for all lines.
Billing Price Total Reg. This field shows the billing price of the job in the job’s currency. The “Time,” “Amount,” and “Total” fields show the three sums of the “Billing Price Open” and “Billing Price Invoiced” fields.

The “Time,” “Amount,” and “Total” fields show the three sums of open billing prices from the lines in the table part on which the “Closed” field is not marked. If a job entry is partly invoiced, Maconomy only includes the uninvoiced part of the billing price in this field.

The three sums are for time activities, amount activities, and a total for all lines. The values cannot be changed here.

Billing Price Invoiced This field shows the invoiced billing price — that is, the job entries that have been invoiced to the customer in the job’s currency. The “Time,” “Amount,” and “Total” fields show the three sums of invoiced billing prices from the “Billing Price, Inv.” field from the lines in the table part on which the “Closed” field is not marked. The sums also include the invoiced amount of partly invoiced job entries. A partly invoiced job entry is not closed, but it has an invoice number in the “Invoice No.” field.

The three sums are the sum of invoiced billing prices for time activities, amount activities, and a total for all lines. The value cannot be changed here.

Billing Price transferred to This field shows the sum of billing prices that have been transferred to new dimensions on the job entries displayed in the table part of the window. If a job has been transferred to new dimensions, the table part shows to which new dimensions the job entries have been transferred, and the field “Origin” informs you about the origin of the lines; that is, if the lines have been transferred to new dimensions, the text “Job Transfer” is displayed in the field “Origin.” A job can be transferred to new dimensions in the window Job Transfer. The fields “Time,” “Amount,” and “Total” show the three sums of transferred billing prices, as well as any sums for outlays.
Billing Price transferred from This field shows the sum of billing prices that has been transferred from the “old” dimensions on the job entries displayed in the table part of the window to new dimensions on the job in question. A job can be transferred to new dimensions in the window Job Transfer. Note that figures are only displayed in this column if you have not marked the field “Show Only Open” in the island Show Entries, as all entries with “old” dimensions are automatically closed when transferred to new dimensions by means of a job transfer. The fields “Time,” “Amount,” and “Total” show the three sums of transferred billing prices, as well as any sums for outlays
Billing Price Total This field shows the billing price of the job in the job’s currency. The “Time,” “Amount,” and “Total” fields show the three sums of the “Billing Price Open” and “Billing Price Invoiced” fields. The three sums are the invoiced billing price plus the open billing price for time activities, amount activities, and a total for all lines. The values cannot be changed here.
Time This field shows the sum of the hours, costs, and billing prices for the time activities in the table part of the window. The values in these five fields cannot be changed here.

The value in the “Billing Price Open” field is the sum of uninvoiced billing prices for job entries to time activities.

The value in the field “Billing Price Invoiced” is the sum of invoiced billing prices in the “Billing Price, Inv.” field for job entries to time activities.

The values in the fields “Billing Price Transferred To/From” are the sums of billing prices transferred to and from dimensions on the job as a result of a job transfer, if any, carried out in the window Job Transfer.

The value in the “Billing Price Total” field is the sum of the amounts in the two fields above.

Amount This field shows the sum of the costs and billing prices for the amount activities in the table part of the window. The calculations are similar to those described for the above field “Time.”

There is no value in the “Hours” field, as it is not relevant to register quantities for amount activities.

Total This field shows the sum of the costs and billing prices in the table part of the window.
Hereof Outlays These fields show the registered costs for all amount activities for which the cost type has been set to “Outlays.” This means that the fields only show the cost part of the relevant outlays, whereas the below field “Excluding Outlays” also includes the gross margin from the outlay. For more information about outlay activities, please see the description of the window Activities.
Excluding Outlays These fields show the sum of the registered prices for all activities in the table part of this window, less the cost price for any amount activities for which the cost type has been set to “Outlays.”
Total Per This field shows the unit specified in the island Unit Analysis in the window Job Budgets, as well as the values in the row of “Total” fields, divided by the quantity in the island Unit Analysis. If the job for example is for two advertisements, three houses or ten meters cable, you can use this row to view cost and billing prices per unit.

Selection Criteria Island

Field Description

The hour and price information in the Summary island only includes the job entries shown in the table part.

If you leave the fields blank, the entry date will not have any influence on the selection criteria.

Origin In this field, you can specify the origin of the job entries you wish to see in the table part. Maconomy will retrieve job entries posted using journals of the selected type.

The origin of a job entry is the name of the journal type from which they derive, for example, “Job Revenue Recognition.” For more information, please see the description of the field “Origin” in the table part of this window.

If you leave the field blank, the origin will not have any influence on the selection criteria. Please note that not all of the listed journal types are relevant in the Job Cost module. Hence, if you select, for example, “Asset” in this field, no job entries will be shown in the table part.

Entry Type In this field, you can specify the entry type of the job entries you wish to see in the table part. Maconomy will retrieve job entries of the selected type.

When a job entry is posted, Maconomy marks it as a certain type. A job entry can, for example, have the type “Registration” (for a normal time sheet entry) or “Reallocation” (for a reallocated job entry). For more information, please see the description of the field “Entry Type” in the table part of this window.

If you leave this field blank, the entry type will not have any influence on the selection criteria.

Show Accrual Entries In this field, you can specify whether the table part should show accrual entries.
Activity Type In this field, you can specify the activity type of the job entries you wish to see in the table part. Maconomy will retrieve job entries of the selected activity type.

If you leave this field blank, the activity type will not have any influence on the selection criteria.

Cost Type In this field, you can specify the cost type of the job entries you wish to see in the table part. Maconomy will retrieve job entries of the selected cost type.

If you leave this field blank, the cost type will not have any influence on the selection criteria.

Task The functionality of these fields is similar to that of the field “Employee No.” above.
Invoice No. In this field, you can specify the invoice number of the job entries you wish to see in the table part. If you leave the field blank, the invoice number will not have any influence on the selection criteria.

If a job entry is invoiced twice (for example, partially invoiced the first time), then the invoice number on the job entry will be the number of the latest invoice that included that entry.

Overtime Spec. The functionality of this field is similar to that of the field “Activity Type” above.
Show In this field, you can choose whether or not entries included in the fixed-price of a given job should be displayed in the table part of the window and hence included in the calculations displayed in the card part of the window. If you leave the field blank, both kinds of entries (entries included in the fixed price and entries not included in the fixed price) will be included in the table part and hence also in the calculations made in the card part of the window.

Show Entries Island

Field Description
Period In this field, you can enter a range of dates. In the table part, Maconomy will show job entries within the period entered here.

The hour and price information in the Summary island only includes the job entries shown in the table part.

The system parameters “Open job card without delimitation” and “Show Only Open Entries when Opening Job Card” have an effect on the way this field is marked when you open the window. For more information, please see the introduction to this window.

Show Open Only In this field, you can mark whether to show only open entries in the table part of the window. If you mark this field, the table part will only show entries for which the field “Closed” is not marked. An open job entry is one which is not fully invoiced to the customer.

If the job displayed in the window has been transferred to other dimensions in the window Job Transfer, you should note that only open entries are transferred to new dimensions. This means that if you have marked this field, the column “Billing Price, Transf. From” will not show any figures, as entries which have been transferred from one job entry to another are closed on the “old” entry. If you do not mark this field, the table part and the card part of the window will display figures for both amounts transferred from the dimensions on a job as well as the figures transferred to the new dimensions on the job in question.

If you leave this field blank, the field “Closed” has no influence on the selection criteria.

The system parameters “Open job card without delimitation” and “Show Only Open Entries when Opening Job Card” have an effect on the way this field is marked when you open the window. For more information, please see the introduction to this window.
