Job Posting Reference Lines Sub-Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Job Posting Reference Lines sub-tab.

Field Description
Line No. This field shows the line number in the table part.
Department This field shows the name of a department created in the window Posting References in the G/L module.

The table part of this window is used for designating various posting references by department for the relevant activity. These posting references are only used if sales and cost of sales are posted by activity. You select this in the field “Post by Activity” in the window System Information in the Set-Up module. The posting references are made by means of dimension combinations created in the window Dimension Combinations in the G/L module. These dimension combinations can contain references to both accounts and other dimension values to be used when posting. For further information on the functionality of dimension combinations, see the description of the window Dimension Combinations in the G/L module.

When creating a time or amount activity, Maconomy automatically creates a line in the table part for each department. For summary activities, the table part is empty. If you later create more departments, you must manually create lines in the table part corresponding to these. The departments are shown as pop-up values when you create lines.

It is the selection of a department on a job that determines the set of posting references to be used in connection with the relevant activities.

If the “Department from Employee” field in the window System Information is marked, Maconomy will use the posting reference “Offset” of the employee’s department (instead of the job’s department) when making entries to time activities.

Job Group You can select a job group that will be a target group for the line.
Employee Type You can select an employee type that will be a target group for the line.
Item Group You can select an item group that will be a target group for the line.
Transaction Type Group No. You can specify a transaction type group number that will be a target group for the line.
Accrual You can select whether this line is used for accrued registrations, non-accrued registrations, or all registrations.
Job Invoice Allocation You can specify whether the line is to be used for “normal” invoices, job invoice allocations, or both.
Offset Account In this field, enter the number of a dimension combination containing the G/L account to be used as an offset in posting job journals where the given activity is used together with the relevant department. The dimension combination can also contain references to other dimension values to be used in this connection.

For the sake of clarity, the following description of the posting of the activity’s prices uses the term “account.” Rather than accounts, posting references are actually used, where an account number and any other dimension values are found by means of a dimension combination.

When posting job entries for capitalized jobs, the activity’s cost is credited to the account referred to in the dimension combination specified here. If you have chosen to capitalize “At Cost” (in the window Job Parameters), the cost is debited to the WIP account assigned to the job’s job group. If you have chosen to capitalize “At Billing Price,” the cost is debited to the account specified in the “Open Cost” field in this window.

If “Post Hours in Job Journal” or “Post Amount in Job Journal” is chosen (for time or amount activities, respectively), the activity’s cost will be posted to the account referred to in the dimension combination in this field, for non-capitalized jobs. The P&L account will be debited by the equivalent amount.

If “Department from Employee” is chosen in the window System Information, the account entered here will be used for the department given for the employee, when entering to time activities.

Offset Account, Overhead Cost This posting reference is used for posting time on a job (time sheets and job journal) if an overhead rate has been specified, and if the job is set up with a job parameter of type Overhead Cost where the Post Offset for Overhead Cost Separately line is selected.
P&L In this field, enter the number of a dimension combination containing the G/L account to be used for entries in the window General Journal, for invoice allocations in the window Invoice Allocation, for item deliveries (for orders marked as “Invoice in Job Cost”) and for jobs being posted to Profit & Loss (instead of being capitalized). The dimension combination can also contain references to other dimension values to be used in this connection. Job expenses (at cost) for the activity are then posted to the account and any other dimension values referred to in the dimension combination specified in this field.

The account information card of the account referenced here contains a reference to a tax code. This tax code will be applied for registration of ingoing tax when you make registrations for the current activity. However, if you use tax tables, the tax code is found by means of the relevant tax table. For further information on this, see the description of the field “Reporting Code” in the card part.

When you select “Post Hours in Job Journal” or “Post Amount in Job Journal” in System Information, Maconomy posts job journal entries to the account and any other dimension values in the dimension combination, if the entries are not being capitalized.

Cost Price In this field you may enter the number of a dimension combination for the posting of cost price to an account.
Open Cost Price In this field, enter the number of a dimension combination containing the number of the G/L account to be used if the job is being capitalized and if you have selected the capitalization method “At Billing Price” in the job parameter type “Revenue Recognition” for the job in question. The dimension combination can also contain references to other dimension values to be used in this connection.

For the sake of clarity, the following description of the posting of the activity’s prices uses the term “account.” Rather than accounts, posting references are actually used, where an account number and any other dimension values are found by means of a dimension combination.

When the job entry is posted, the cost is debited to this account and any other dimension values in the dimension combination. If the job entry is posted via job journal, the cost is credited to the “Offset Account.” If the job entry is posted via a general journal, the cost is credited the set-off account specified in the general journal. If the job journal is posted via an allocated vendor invoice journal, the cost is credited to the vendor control account.

When the job is invoiced, entry cost is credited to this account and the cost of sales account is debited by the cost.

Billing Price, Tax Exempt In this field you may enter the number of a dimension combination for the posting of billing price to an account.
Billing Price, Export In this field you may enter the number of a dimension combination for the posting of billing price to an account.
Open Billing Price In this field, enter the number of a dimension combination containing the G/L account to be used if the job is being capitalized and if you have selected the capitalization method “At Billing Price” in the job parameter type “Revenue Recognition” for the job in question. The dimension combination can also contain references to other dimension values to be used in this connection.

When a job entry is posted, the billing price is credited to this account and any other dimension values specified in the dimension combination, and debited to the WIP account.

When the job is invoiced, the billing price is debited to this account and any other dimension values specified in the dimension combination, and credited to the WIP account.

Open Billing Price, Adjustment In this field, enter the number of a dimension combination containing the G/L account to be used if the job is being capitalized and if you have selected the capitalization method “At Billing Price” in the job parameter type “Revenue Recognition” for the job in question The dimension combination can also contain references to other dimension values to be used in this connection.

If the job parameters assigned to a job specifies that overruns should be handled, this account and any other dimension values in the dimension combination will be used for adjusting the open billing price when overruns are registered on the job. An overrun occurs when the costs registered on the job exceed the fixed quote price of the job. The adjustment itself is carried out automatically when the job entries are posted. For further information, please see the description of the system parameter attribute “Handling of Overruns” in the window Job Parameters.

The activity used in connection with overruns on jobs is specified in the job parameter attribute “Activity for Job Revenue Adjustment” in the window Job Parameters. The activity must be an invoiceable amount activity.

Cost Price Transferred Internally In this field, enter the number of a dimension combination containing the number of the G/L account to be used if costs on job entries are transferred between dimensions as a result of a job transfer carried out in the window Job Transfer. The posting reference is used when posting a job transfer journal created for a job using capitalization at billing price and for which the field “Post By Activity” has been marked in the window System Information. When posting such a journal, postings are made to the accounts for open cost and open billing price as well as to this account and the account for sales transferred internally.

The dimension combination can also contain references to other dimension values to be used in this connection. Job expenses (at cost) for the activity are then posted to the account and any other dimension values referred to in the dimension combination specified in this field.
