To create a job field report entry

  1. Select Job Cost Main menu > Job Field Report Entry.

  2. Enter the job number and Header tab fields, based on information provided by the job manager. The descriptive and job status information (job manager, contract number, contract date, job type, job status, status date, job start date, date of last cost, etc.) can only be viewed. For more information, see Job Field Report Entry - Fields.

  3. After completing your entries on the Header tab, click Accept.

  4. A message appears prompting you to update all cost code detail for this job.

  5. Click Yes to manually update the completion status information for all cost codes established for this job.

  6. Click No to update only the completion percentage of the job.

  7. Click Apply % to automatically update completion status information for all cost codes established for this job by applying the same completion percentage and corresponding reports dates used for the overall job.

  1. Click the Lines tab and enter completion status information for the current job. Each line item represents a cost code or cost type established for the job.

  2. Click OK to accept the data for a line. Click Undo to cancel changes for a line. Click Del to delete a line for this entry. Click Ins to insert a line for this entry.

  3. When the entry is complete, click Accept.

After the information is entered, it can be printed on the Job Field Report Register and updated automatically to the Job Cost system. The actual completion information prints on many Job Cost reports and is used to calculate cost analysis information, such as current cost variance, projected variance, estimated cost to complete, and projected profit.
