Job Post WIP to G/L Batch Job

You use this batch job to post to the general ledger the Work In Progress (WIP) you calculated using the Job Calculate WIP batch job.

Any WIP that has been posted to the general ledger earlier for the jobs you have included on the Job tab will be reversed.

Each time you run this batch job, the program creates WIP G/L entries based on the Job WIP Entries for the jobs included. These WIP G/L entries are then posted to the General Ledger. You can see the WIP G/L entries for each job in the Job G/L WIP Entries window.

You can define what is included in the batch job by setting filters. To do this, in the Field field, press F3, click the AssistButton and then select the relevant fields. You can set filters on any of the fields. If you do not set any filters, the batch job will include all your records.

To filter the information in the batch job, fill in the relevant fields as follows:

Job

Job No.: To post WIP for a specific job or a range of jobs, enter the number of that job or range of jobs in this field.

Options

Posting Date: Enter the posting date for the G/L entries that will be posted by this function.

Document No.: Enter a document number for the G/L entries that will be posted by this function

Reverse Only: Insert a check mark in this field if you want to reverse previous posted WIP, but not to post new WIP to the G/L. This is useful, for example, when you have calculated and posted WIP for a job with an incorrect date error and want to reverse the incorrect postings without posting new WIP postings.

Use Reversal Date: Insert a check mark in this field if you want to use the reversal date as the posting date for both the reversal of the previous WIP calculation and the posting date for the new WIP calculation. If the field is empty, the program uses the WIP Posting Date in the Job WIP entries as the Posting Date for the WIP G/L Entries. This is useful when you want to calculate and post the historical WIP for a period that is already closed. You can reverse the old postings and post the new calculation in an open period by choosing a reversal date in the open period.

Click OK to run the batch job. If you do not want to run the batch job now, click Cancel to close the window.
