Select Job Cost Setup menu > Job Type Maintenance. In the Job Type Maintenance window, click WIP Accounts.

This task is available only if the Post to G/L for Work in Process check box is selected in the Job Cost Options window.

Overview

Use Post to G/L for Work in Process to assign default Work-in-Process and Cost of Sales account numbers.

It is recommended that you assign default Work-in-Process and Cost of Sale account numbers for each cost type to speed data entry. Any default account number assigned to a job type can be overridden by entering a different account number when posting transactions.

If you have jobs that do not use Work-in-Process accounts, set up different job types for those jobs and enter Cost of Sale account numbers in both the Work in Process and Cost of Sale columns. When Work in Process is relieved, the account is both debited and credited.

Note Changing general ledger account numbers only affects future Job Cost postings. Any entries previously made will not change.
