Verify that all change orders; job billing invoices; and direct cost, billing, and cash receipt transactions are recorded for the current month. Also, verify that all integrated modules (Accounts Payable, Payroll, etc.) have posted all transactions for the current month.

If monthly calculation of overhead is selected in the Job Cost Options window, print the Monthly Overhead Allocation Report and update. Print and update the Daily Transaction Register.

If any jobs have been completed during the current period, print the Job Close-Out Report and update.

Perform period-end or year-end processing. For more information, see Perform Period-End and Year-End Processing.

Select the reports to print for the period end. Print at least the Work in Process Report and Job Transaction Detail Report.

Complete period-end processing after all the selected reports have been printed.

Back up the Job Cost files using a separate set of disks or tapes from the set used to back up the system in step 1.
