Costs Not Posting

A cost transaction is not posting. Why not?

If a cost transaction in Goldenseal project accounting software does not show up in Job Cost reports, check the original cost transaction.

  1. What's the statusNOTE-- If Void or Planned, it will have no effect on job costs, T&M billing, payables or price updating. If Job Cost Only, it will post to job costs, but won't do anything else. If Pricing Only, it will update material prices, but won't do anything else.
  2. For Material Purchases or Other Costs, check the Amount field.  If zero, it posts 0.
  3. For Equipment Hours, Labor Hours or Subcontractor Costs, check the Job Cost Amount field (you'll probably need to click the More Info button to see it).  If zero, it posts 0. You probably need to enter a Job Cost Rate. HINT-- It's best to set up billing rates, and then assign them to each Equipment, Employee or Subcontractor account.  Then Goldenseal will automatically fill in a job cost rate and amount when you enter costs for them.
