Select the Job Cost line type.

Tax type

This defaults from the supplier, but you can override it. This option determines how to display and calculation tax on the line.

Select

Inclusive - Greentree assumes the price entered into the line is inclusive of tax, and calculates the tax and total values

Tax code

This defaults based on the hierarchy outlined in Tax Code Hierarchies. You can override it only if the option to Allow tax rate/amount change is selected for the code in Tax Code Maintenance. It is used to determine the tax percentage associated with the line so a tax value can be calculated.

Code

Activity code

Select the job activity code for the transaction. You can select from any activity code of type Purchases that belongs to the activity code group assigned to the selected job. This is the activity code that updates to the transaction in the Job Cost module when the invoice line is saved.

The Work in Progress (WIP) GL Account specified for the selected activity code is the account that is debited by the line value when the transaction is saved.

Work centre

Select the work centre for the transaction. The default value is the default work centre of the selected activity code. It represents the work centre that updates to the transaction in the Job Cost module when the invoice line is saved.

If Advanced Job Cost Work Centre Plans are used, then the activity code and work centre selections need to comply with the job's plan settings.

Quantity

Enter the purchase quantity.

Price

This is the cost for making the purchase. If the invoice is being generated using the Select Order method, this defaults to the cost of the JC Activity Code selected on the line. If the invoice is being generated using the Select Receipt method, it is taken from the cost of the receipt line. In either case, the price can be edited.
