Select this check box to integrate the Accounts Receivable module with Job Cost. Clear this check box if you do not want the Accounts Receivable module to be integrated with Job Cost.

When these modules are integrated, the Repetitive Invoice Entry and Invoice Data Entry tasks allow the entry of the job number for each invoice. The retention amount for each invoice can be entered to indicate the portion of the invoice to retain from payment and post to a separate retention receivable account. The Job Cost check box is available only if the Job Cost module is installed for this company.

If this check box is selected a message will appear warning you that if job billings are being invoiced in Job Billing Data Entry, the customer assigned to the job should not be set up as a bill-to customer.
