Plant Charges Entry

---

Use the JC Plant Charges Entry form to create cost lines for jobs that have used a plant item, which is also set up as a job (with a Plant charge type assigned).

If you open the form from JC Job Maintenance, it is pre-populated based on:

• If the selected job has a Plant charge type, the Plant field will be pre-populated with the job code and activity code associated with the plant job (inclusive of work centre, cost and sell rates).
• If the selected job does not have a Plant charge type, the Job field will be pre-populated with the job code.

A plant charge can be created from either the plant job or the destination job. Alternatively, the form can be accessed without default information using the Data Entry/Job Cost menu.

Enter a Reference up to 20 characters long, or leave the field empty. Greentree automatically allocates the next consecutive number when you save the transaction.

If you enter a Narration, it defaults to the primary transaction line displayed in JC Transaction Enquiry for the plant item.

Lines

This information is required to complete a plant transaction:

Plant job/Description

Select the job code representing the plant item. The default value is the line if the form was launched from JC Job Maintenance when the plant job was selected.

Job/Description

Select the job that has used the plant item. The default value is the line if the form was opened from JC Job Maintenance when the destination job was selected.

Activity/Description

This is the activity code of the plant job. It defaults to the line when the plant job is selected. You can change this code.

This is the cost rate determined from the activity code.

Sell rate

This is the selling rate determined from the activity code.

Sell

This is the sell rate x quantity, representing the total sell value of the line.

Narration

Enter a narration up to 2000 characters for the line if applicable. The default value is the transaction line displayed in JC Transaction Enquiry for both the plant job (sale line) and destination job (cost line).

Transaction Effect

When a plant charge is saved:

• The plant sales code of the transaction activity code creates a sales line for the plant job at cost rate.
• The plant activity code of the transaction is used to create a cost line for the destination job.
