Checkbook Posting

Cost Control (Full Ledger only)

The MacNail construction accounting software uses this column to mark off items after they are transferred to Job Cost Control sheets.
The payout amount is entered here when the Cost Control is updated. If an item could not be updated, an error message is displayed.

NOTE-- In 2000, MacNail was replaced by Goldenseal construction accounting software. Goldenseal is an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. Goldenseal automatically posts job cost information when you enter each expense, so there is no need for a manual posting step.

Items that are blank have not yet been transferred to a Cost Control sheet.

Check this column after running Cost Control, to make sure all items have been posted correctly.

WARNING: It is important not to change this column! You may cause double-entries (or missing entries) if you do.
