Resolution

To copy a job, do the following:


  1. In Job Cost, from the Setup menu, select Copy Job.
  2. Enter the source job ID in the Print Selection window.
  3. Enter the destination job ID. If a new job is to be created, click New Job and enter the desired descriptive information for the new job.
  4. If you do not want to create estimates and/or scheduled value entries for the new job, click Options and remove the unwanted options from the Copy Job Options window. If you use extras, you also can change the option to include or exclude extras in the copy process.
  5. Make any desired changes to the default printer and page setups by clicking Printer Setup and Page Setup respectively.
  6. Click Start to begin the copy job process.
  7. Review the Copy Job Report to verify the results of the copy.


After you click Start, each record associated with the source job is checked to see if it meets the tests set by the ranges and conditions entered. If it does not, it is dropped from further processing.

Otherwise, the record is processed according to its record type. Information from the different record types can be copied to the destination job. See the attached articles on the fields that are copied from each record.

After all records have been processed, any estimate and scheduled value entries created are added to the respective totals in the destination job.

Items not mentioned in these topics are set to blanks or the default values. Some of your items may not be updated as shown, depending on how Job Cost was set up and the options you chose in Copy Job.

Note: Only one Job at a time can be setup using Setup, Copy Job.
