Number Error in Job Cost Query

Problem

number mismatch or error between cost control worksheet and cc? column of original ledger or log, when they use query box to check category or job totals in MacNail construction accounting software.

Diagnosis

'the numbers don't match up'.
Possible things that may cause a false mismatch:
• Using A, B, C, D under category in criteria: will also find AA, BB etc.
• Has 'repost error' in cc? column
• Job name doesn't match job # due to change after lookups removed
• Category change made in source after posting

Solution

For A, B, C etc: Type in ="=A" to find just category A
For 'repost error'-- check thru ALL item on that job or category
For retroactive changes, or other mismatches-- can always repost all items (see #246). This will make 100% sure that the numbers are all correct.
