Job Costs are Not Posting

Problem

Job Costs are not posting.

The Job Costs command does not show amounts, or has wrong amounts.

Diagnosis

Check the original cost transactions.
1. What's the status? If void, planned or pricing only, it won't post.
2. For materials or other costs, check the Amount field. If zero, it posts 0.
3. For equip, labor or subs, check the Job Cost Amount field. If zero, no posting.
4. What GS version do they have? There was a posting bug in 1.0, fixed by version 1.02 of Goldenseal job costing software.

Solution

1. change status, or accept that it won't post.
2. Enter an amount.
3. Enter a Job Cost Rate. They should probably set up billing rates, and then assign them to the Equipment, Employee or Subcontractor account. Then GS will automatically fill in a job cost rate and amount.
