Job Costing Allowances

Problem

Allowances posting won't work in MacNail construction accounting software.

How to post allowances in MacNail construction job costing software

Diagnosis

User wants to job cost for allowances, but it doesn't work.

Solution

In ledgers or logs, allowances must be entered with category code AL, and MUST have a subcategory, whether or not they are using a 2-layer cost control. The subcat # is the number of the allowance- they can check the bottom of the cost control sheet to see which allowances are available.

Users may be confused by the need for a subcategory, if they don't ever use them for regular job cost accounting.
