Job Costing - AP Transactions

The AP Transactions tab displays all Accounts Payable transactions allocated to the selected job and is comprised of four tabs. (Administration > Job Costing > Search Jobs > Select a job > Job AP Transactions tab).

  1. Invoices

  2. Payments

  3. Debit Memos

  4.  


​​​​Invoices
Displays Bill-Other vendor invoices allocated to the job. Inventory invoices do not display on this tab since jobs are not directly assigned to inventory invoices and the inventory cost comes from item delivery.

  • Click Add Bill to enter a Bill Other vendor invoice. The job name will default automatically. The Phase and Cost Code will default if the selected vendor is set up as a sub-contractor on the job.

  • Click Add Inventory to enter a new inventory invoice. Keep in mind, Inventory Invoices do not show on the AP Transactions menu of a job even if they are added through the job.

  • Click Update to edit the highlighted vendor invoice

If no invoices appear on the Pay Bills screen, it's most likely due to the date filters selected on the Pay Bills screen.  By default, "Due on or before" is selected and only invoices due within the next 7 days will display. Click Show All Bills to view all bills for the highlighted vendor.

Payments
Displays all payments associated to a job. A payment can appear on the Payments tab for two reasons:

  • The payment was applied to an invoice that was associated to the job.

  • The manual check payment was allocated directly to the job. In this case, the Memo field will default to the job name.

  • Click Pay Bills to open the Pay Bills screen for all vendors.

  • Click Write Check to create a manual check for the job. The job name will default automatically. The Phase and Cost Code will default if the selected vendor is set up as a sub-contractor on the job.

  • Click Update to view or edit the highlighted payment.
