Release 24/11/21 – Accounting – Introduction of sub tabs to the job charges tab

In this release we have made significant changes to the Job Charges tab. The tab now consists of sub tabs with all the relevant Job financial information. There are minimal changes to how you input your debtor charges, however we have increased user visibility and accessibility from this tab.

Invoicing

The first sub tab contains much of the previous information you had on the charges tab with the addition of a Job summary table. This has been introduced to restrict the amount of time users need to spend swapping tabs when entering their charges.

Should you wish to hide this, it along with the entire top section of the screen, can be collapsed via the icon.

The Currency table has been updated to list both the most up to date Bank Rate in the foreign exchange rate Masterfile and the Job Rate you are using on the Job. The Exchange Variance has been relocated to the currency level so that you can apply different exchange rates to different currencies. The defaults from the customer Masterfile will still be applied to each line unless you choose to override.

Debtor Invoices

The Debtors subtab allows you to see all Posted and Unposted debtor invoices against a Job.

All actions that are available on either the Debtor Invoice Entry or Enquiry screen have been added to the base of this table. These buttons are tied to the security permission for each screen and whether they are applicable to the selected invoices.

Additionally, we have improved the process of reversing an invoice from the Job Charges screen. When   is selected, a Credit Note for the inverse amount is automatically created in the Entry screen. You will see it in the list of debtor invoices and an event appears against the job.

The button can be used to speed up paying an invoice. Instead of having to navigate back to the menu, selecting this will open either the Debtor Receipt or Foreign Contra screen based on currency of the invoice selected.

Creditor Invoices

The Creditors subtab allows you to see all Posted and Unposted creditor invoices against a Job.

Various buttons exist under this table that either perform actions or take you to different screens in the system. For example, you can post a creditor invoice, access documents that are stored against an invoice or view the creditor invoice record through these buttons. We have also added an option to pay invoices which prompt you to select either the Foreign Contra, Creditor Payment or EFT Bank File screen depending on your permissions.

Additionally, there is a new option to request payment of a creditor invoice. This works by sending an email to users set up with client option RECV_CRDPAYR turned on from their user Masterfile record. This email contains a link for the user to view the desired creditor invoice.

Finally, the Remittance Advice option allows you to print the remittance advice against any paid creditor invoices.

Job Disbursement Payments

This tab functions identically to the one on the Job Financial Enquiry screen and lists out each charge code that has had a job disbursement payment against it on the job.

WIPs

This tab lists all disbursement charge codes that have an outstanding balance against the job. The Paid, Journaled and Billed columns are included so that you can assess what needs to be done. The Profit Variance column shows you whether you are currently making a profit (highlighted in green) or a loss (highlighted in red) against that charge code.

If you have finished paying/billing out against a charge code, the button can be used to open the Job Only Auto Profit screen to take up the remaining balance to the respective income codes.

Profit/Loss

This tab shows the whole Posted financial context for the job on a charge code level. It is similar to the Job Financial screen in that it lists both disbursement and income codes that are linked to the Job. Profit Variance is shown against the income codes so that you can understand which income codes you are making a profit or loss against. The disbursement codes are included so that you can understand the context behind these figures and see where and what you paid/billed for the charge code.
