Clarity Business Forms

Clarity Forms (CLFs) are identified with specific functions within the Job Costing module. These are essential business forms that are part of the usual business workflow. In contrast, Clarity Reports (CLRs) can be placed on the MYOB EXO Job Costing menu or run via the command line.

Each of the main job forms can have a drop down list presenting a variety of formats.

These are known as a "form file lists" and are set up as comma-separated lists in the company profiles area of the EXO Business Configurator application. A good example is having several different options of quote layout available at printing time, e.g. detailed, brief etc.

The following standard CLF files are available in Job Costing:

Invoice.CLF

The default Debtors Invoice form based on the DR_INVLINES and DR_TRANS tables.

Will display "Copy" if it detects that it has been printed previously. Often a job costing user will link additional job information to the debtors invoice

JobPreview.CLF

This form appears identical to Invoice.CLF, but the report itself is derived from Job Transactions and JOBCOST_HDR, as the DR_INVLINES and DR_TRANS entries have not yet been entered. Its purpose is to predict the appearance of the invoice before posting it to Debtors, allowing you to make alterations to the job.

JobQuote.CLF

Used to provide a printout of the job in a customer-oriented format.

JobSheet.CLF

Usually used as a sheet including work instructions and contact details for the job.

Other Job Forms

Form file lists allow you to create any number of job related business forms. Business examples might include Quality control sheets or a stock picking sheet.
