Project and Job Costing Options — Overview

Use the PJC Options form to select options when you first set up your Project and Job Costing system, and whenever you need to change your selections.

The PJC Options form lets you:

• Change the contact name, telephone number and fax number for your Project and Job Costing system.

• Specify default settings for contracts and projects(such as the names for the contract levels, if the your industry uses different terminology, the types and rates for labor burden and overhead, the project style and accounting method, whether to require printing of transaction listings before you can post transactions, as well as the A/R item number and unit of measure)   .

• Specify five aging periods.

• For projects that use a percentage complete accounting method, specify when to clear the billings and work in progress accounts.

• Specify formats for contract numbers.

• Determine how Project and Job Costing interacts with Accounts Receivable.

Note: You cannot save most changes to the Options form if any other Project and Job Costing forms are open.
