Jobtype

All jobs defined in Production are identified by a job type code. The job carries this code throughout the system and is used to identify billing instructions, task lists, estimate formats, as well as being used to print or view certain reports by job type.

Jobtype Description Detail Window

  1. Key the Job Type Description then click in the Subtypes box to indicate that subtypes are required.

  2. The next four fields (Receiving Tran Code, Receiving Work Code, Receiver Type, Receiving User) are used with Studio Billing and are required to properly transfer charges to the studio-target job for rebilling to the client. Keying information in these fields sets up the jobtype used by the client-owning office as well as defines the way in which charges are transferred.

Key the Receiving Tran Code and the Receiving Work Code to which studio-billed charges are posted.

From the Receiver Type drop-down list, select Post Immediately to automatically post charges to the applicable master files and make journal entries. Select Receive as EDI Invoice to receive the Studio Billing only to the point where it is available in APPOST where processing is completed. In this case, no permanent posting is performed until the receiving user reviews and accepts the charges in APPOST and selects the posting option. This gives the receiving company a chance to review the charges to make any corrections or to delete an item if not desired.

Key the Receiving User in the company receiving charges who will receive and process EDI invoices and who is noted on the audit trail report that is produced from billing.
