Job Costing 6.1

Setting default minimum and maximum dates for the:

  • Customer Job Summary
  • Manager Job Summary
  • Job Status Report
  • Change Order Report
  • Billing Worksheet
  • AIA Billing Worksheet

PRINT COST BATCHES & POST COST BATCHES

In the previous version, the program would incorrectly allow the printing and posting of batches under the following conditions: - importing cost batches, AND - using a nonexistent phase or category, AND - using the simple cost tracking option.

This diskette contains new programs that fix the problem. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not importing cost batches, or if you have blank phases or categories, you might not want the PTF program to fix this problem. If you do NOT want the PTF program to fix this this problem, choose "Yes" when the PTF installation program asks you whether to exclude this option. (Choosing "Yes" updates the Data Integrity Checker and installs the same changes as PTF JC961001.EXE. Choosing "No" updates the Data Integrity Checker and installs the same changes as PTF JC970412.EXE.)

DATA INTEGRITY CHECKER

This diskette contains new programs that fix the Data Integrity Checker, and fix any data errors caused from running the previous Data Integrity Checker. After you install this diskette, run the Data Integrity Checker in "fix" mode to repair data errors.

A/M/D TIMESHEETS IN JOB COSTING FOR CANADIAN PAYROLL

Under certain circumstances, the previous version of Add/Modify/Delete Timesheets for Canadian Payroll did not correctly calculate the amount derived from the decimal portion of the Hours/Units value.

This diskette contains a new A/M/D Timesheets program that fixes the problem.

SIMPLE COST TRACKING

When you track a job with Simple Cost Tracking, the previous versions of the Job Status and Job in Progress reports showed that Overhead was erroneously expensed when you posted Cost Transactions AND when you posted Billings, effectively doubling the Overhead expensed.

This diskette contains new programs that fix the problem. Overhead will be expensed correctly on all jobs set up AFTER you install this diskette.

CONVERSION OF ESTIMATES FROM PRE-6.1A TO VERSION 6.1A DATA

Follow these instructions only if you just discovered this conversion problem; that is, you have just now upgraded to Job Costing 6.1A.

Restore the backup of your 6.0A (or earlier) data you made before you installed Job Costing version 6.1A and converted your data.

This diskette contains a new data conversion program. The conversion of pre-6.1A data to version 6.1A does not convert estimates correctly. You must restore the backup of your data made before you installed Job Costing 6.1A. When the new conversion program converts your 6.0A (or earlier) data to 6.1A, the estimates will be converted correctly.

AIA BILLINGS WORKSHEET

The previous version of the AIA Billings Worksheet incorrectly reported the Billed Previously value for phases that are set up with no categories and for jobs that have revenue tracking at the phase level.

This diskette contains new programs that fix the problem.

A/M/D JOB ESTIMATES

In the previous version of Add/Modify/Delete Job Estimates, if more than one user is entering job estimates for the same database, it is possible for the job summary file (JCJSUM) to become corrupted.
