Note: This option should only be used for batches or transactions that were entered in Job Cost. To remove entries that originated in another application, make the correcting entries in the application of origin first and then use the steps below. Moving the entries out of Job Cost without fixing the original entry in the application of origin can create an out of balance situation between the applications.

The types of transactions that you would enter in Job Cost include:

  • Estimates (including imports)
  • Direct Costs (including imports)

To remove some or all entries from the New file to another folder, use the link below to use the move option.

The following steps include posting, confirming that only unwanted entries remain, and renaming the new.jct file:

  1. Verify that everyone has exit all Sage Timberline Office applications.
  2. Select Reports, Entries, Entries by Batch.
  3. Select the JC - Transaction record and the JC Transaction (new) file.
  4. Make note of the batches that you would like to post to Job Cost.
  5. In Job Cost, select Tasks, Post Entries.
  6. Click Ranges.
  7. Select the batches you want to post, and click OK.
  8. Click Start to post the entries and print your journal to a file or printer.
  9. Review the journal and verify that the entries posted successfully.
  10. Verify that the only remaining batches in the New.jct after posting are the batches you wish to remove, as follows:
    1. From the menu bar select Inquiry, Entries, Entries by Batch.
    2. In the Transaction File Selection window, select New, and click OK.
    3. Confirm that all the batches you see in the inquiry are ones you want to remove, and then click Close.
      Note: If there are entries in the New.jct file which did not post and that you do not want to remove, do not proceed to the next step until these entries are successfully posted.
  11. From the menu bar select Tools, File Tools.
  12. Select Rename, then click Next.
  13. Click Browse.
  14. Select New.jct. If you use named files, your New.jct file may have a different name.
  15. Click Open.
  16. In the New file name box, type a new file name. Do not type the .jct extension.
  17. Click Next.
  18. Confirm all validation lights are green and click Next three times.
  19. Click Finish.
  20. You can confirm that the new file no longer exists by selecting Inquiry, Entries, Entries by Batch. Select the New file and click OK. The message JC Transaction file not found appears.

Note: The New.jct file is automatically recreated the next time Job Cost or an interfacing application needs to create or send entries to the New.jct file.
