Introduction
On the Jobs Setup page, you can specify the setup of jobs and how to process work in process (WIP) in your organization.
To access the Jobs Setup page, select the Search for page icon in the upper-right corner of the page, enter jobs setup, and then select the related link.
You can enter the following fields on the Jobs Setup page:
Automatic Update Job Cost - Specifies that cost changes are automatically adjusted whenever the Adjust Cost - Item Entries batch job is run. This feature is useful to keep the cost of items that are used on a job up to date. The adjustment process and its results are the same as when you run the Update Job Item Cost batch job.
Apply Usage Link by Default - Specifies whether job ledger entries are linked to job planning lines by default. Select this check box if you want to apply this setting to all new jobs that you create. You can also apply this setting on a job-by-job basis.
Allow Budget/Billable Lines - Specifies whether job lines can be of type Both Budget and Billable by default. Select this check box if you want to apply this setting to all new jobs that you create. You can also apply this setting on a job-by-job basis.
Default WIP Method - Specifies the default method to be used for calculating work in process (WIP). It is applied whenever you create a new job, but you can modify the value on the job card.
Default WIP Posting Method - Specifies how the default WIP method is to be applied when you are posting work in process (WIP) to the general ledger. By default, it is applied for each job, but you can also set it for each job ledger entry.
Default Job Posting Group - Specifies the default posting group to be applied when you create a new job. This group is used whenever you create a job, but you can modify the value on the job card.
