About the Jobs Field

This field displays for an earning/deduction on the Timecards, Employee Timecards, or Manual Checks window, only if you select the Job Related option on the top part of the window.

Using the Jobs Field

The Jobs field allows you to specify the job information for a timecard or manual check detail line, and is available for all earnings/deductions, except:

  • An hourly rate, fixed, or flat earning that is using an overtime schedule that is setup to pay overtime as compensatory time hours.
  • An earning that uses Percentage Of Base or Amount Per Hour, if you have selected the Jobs Allocated Based On Calc Base option for that earning. Note that although selecting this option will not let you enter the Jobs field, the program still automatically calculates the cost and billing amount and transfer the information to Sage 300 Project and Job Costing.

Entering Billing Information

You can also enter billing information, but only for:

  • Earnings (except those using a calculation method of Percentage Of Base or Amount Per Hour, AND are flagged for the "Jobs Allocated Based on Calc Base" option)
  • Accrual Payments
  • Expense Reimbursements

Entering Jobs

To enter the Jobs field on the Timecards or Manual Checks window:

  1. Select a line on the table of the Earnings/Deductions tab.
  2. Click the up-arrow next to the Jobs field (or double-click the Jobs field) to open the Projects and Job Costing Details window.
  3. On the window, enter the job-related information for the selected item.

The job-related information you enter for accrual payments, expense reimbursements, and earnings (note the exceptions mentioned earlier) are transferred to Sage 300 Project and Job Costing. Job-related information for all other earnings/deductions (advances, deductions, benefits) are not transferred, but stored in payroll for reporting purposes.
