Options below the Labor Postings grid

Field Description
Show postings already cross charged Select this check box to display files with a status of processed.
Show labor adjustments and transfers Select this check box to display files for labor adjustment and billing transfer transaction types.
Replace existing unposted cross charge files of same file names Select this check box to replace processed files of the same filename that are not yet posted. Use this option after you review the Labor Cross Charge Detail Report and adjust data. Archived files are never deleted, even when this option is selected.
Journal Entry Batch Name Based on how you use Labor Cross Charge, Vision creates one or two data entry files and uses the name in this field as the filename for the journal entry data entry file. Use this field to edit the default filename, which is of the form XCharge[today's date]. A filename cannot be the same as that of any archived file.
Labor Adjustment Batch Name Based on how you use Labor Cross Charge, Vision creates one or two data entry files and uses the name in this field as the filename for the labor adjustment data entry batch file. Use this field to edit the default filename, which is of the form XCharge[today's date]. A filename cannot be the same as that of any archived file.
Diary This field displays only if you have set up a diary in Accounting System Settings Configuration for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions. Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as an accounts payable payment processing run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions.

The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type.

The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Transaction Auto Numbering tab in Accounting System Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions, or no fiscal period or year entered for them.

If you have multiple companies, the Diary drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions.

You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction, or enter a reversing transaction.

Transaction Date Enter or select the transaction date for the journal entries that result from the labor cross charge process. This date is also used as the end date of the labor adjustment transaction file because that date is assigned to the summary general ledger posting. (This entry does not affect the dates associated with individual labor adjustments.)

This field is only available if Vision is configured to require that transaction dates fall within the current fiscal year or current fiscal period. The date you enter must meet that requirement. If Vision is not configured to require transaction dates within the current fiscal year or period, the latest end date of the selected labor files is used as the transaction date.
