How do I determine if there is more than one job and/or a combination of Job and Non Job line items associated with a commitment?
Description
Cause

A Job is not written to the JC Commitment header record when there is a combination of different Jobs and/or a combination of Job and Non Job related line items on the same commitment.

If a commitment change order is added to a commitment that was coded to a single job that is associated with a different job than the original job on the commitment and/or is non Job related, this will clear the Job that was originally written to the JC Commitment header record.

Resolution

Use the following inquiry to review the transactions associated with the commitment:

  • In Job Cost, select Inquiry, Entries, All Entries.
  • Select the Filter or [Conditions] buitton.
  • Add the following conditions in this order
  • Transaction type = Committed Cost OR Transaction type = Aprvd cmmtt cst chng AND Commitment = [Enter Commitment number in the Value box]
  • Click [OK] after adding the above conditions.
  • You can add columns to the view in the inquiry to display the Commitment and Commitment line item IDs. DocLink: How do I add or edit a column in an inquiry?

Note: The name of the Commitment field may vary if you have customized the description of this field. (for example Purchase Order)

Review the transactions to determine if there is a combination of entries to multiple Job and/or a combination of Job/NonJob related entries.
