Billing Labor Transfer Dialog Box

For the selected transaction, use the Billing Labor Transfer dialog box to reclassify transactions within the same project, phase, or task or transfer transactions to another project, phase, or task.

If you use the Multicompany feature:
  • Tax codes that are entered in the Tax Code Override 1 or Tax Code Override 2 fields on the Billing Labor Modify dialog box or Billing Labor Insert dialog box are transferred with a transaction if the transaction remains in the same company. If the transaction is being transferred to another company to be billed by the other company, then the override tax codes are not transferred.
  • An employee may be associated with more than one company. When you transfer labor, the company that the employee recorded time with is the company that is associated with the labor. For example, an employee worked in Company A and had a timesheet with a status of "in progress." Company A was also his designated home company. However, the employee was moved to Company B and his home company changed to Company B, as well.

    Even though Company B is now the employee's home company, he still has an "active" status in Company A because his timesheet is not yet complete. When the employee completes and posts his timesheet, Company A remains associated with the labor, even though his home company is now Company B.

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 Diary Auto Numbering tab in Configuration > 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.
