7 Inquiring on Job Information

This chapter contains the following topics:

7.1 Understanding Job Cost Inquiries

After you have set up a job, you can begin tracking costs and units by task and account. You can review all of the information that relates to a project or job at any time during the progress of the work. You review job information to identify variances between the amounts budgeted and the actual amounts, as well as to track commitments and projected final amounts, and to compare different ledgers.

The system provides several inquiry programs that you can use to review job-related information:

  • Job Status Inquiry: Basic (P512100).

    Use this program to display account balance information from the Account Balances table (F0902) in predefined columns that you can select to display by setting processing options.

  • Job Status Inquiry: User Defined Columns (P512000).

    Use this program to display the account balance and detail information using columns that you select or create. Based on the selection criteria that you define, the system retrieves account information from both the Account Balances and the Account Detail (F0911) tables.

  • Revised Budget by Ledger Type (P51216).

    Use this program to display all amounts and units entered for all revised budget ledgers.

  • Accounts Payable Inquiry by Job (P04220).

    Use this program to display all of the vouchers entered for a specific job or supplier.

7.1.1 Mobile Applications for Inquiring on Job Information (Release 9.1 Update)

The following mobile applications are available, and can be used to inquire job information on a mobile device:

  • Project Status Review (Smartphone and Tablet)

These applications require system administrator configuration before they are available to individual users. Contact your system administrator to determine whether these applications are available for use.

Additionally, see the following topics in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Mobile Enterprise Applications Implementation Guide:

7.2 Common Fields Used in This Chapter

Period/Date

Enter the period number or the date for which you want to review amount and unit information. If you enter a period, the system converts it to a date and uses the last day of the period. If you enter a date that is not the last day of the period, the system updates it to the last day of the period in which the date falls. The system uses the date pattern that is assigned to the company that is assigned to the job to determine the last day of each period.

Inception, Cumulative, or Period

Specify the type of information to display on the form. Options are:

Inception: The system displays job-to-date totals for each account through the period or date specified. When you select this option, the system includes the balance forward amount from the previous year.

Cumulative: The system displays year-to-date totals for each account through the period or date specified.

Period: The system displays the period-date-totals for each account for the period or date specified.

Subledger

Enter the subledger type and subledger to use to retrieve account information.

Revised Budget Amounts

Enter the sum of the amounts in the revised budget ledgers for the period specified.

Revised Budget Units

Enter the sum of the units in the revised budget ledgers for the period specified.

Actual Amounts

Enter the amount from the AA ledger for the period specified.

Actual Units

Enter the unit from the AU ledger for the period specified.

Original Budget Amount

Enter the sum of the amounts that are in the BORG field (budget original) for all revised budget amount ledgers for the period specified.

Original Budget Units

Enter the sum of the units that are in the BORG field (budget original) for all revised budget unit ledgers for the period specified.

Percent Complete

Enter the amount for the period specified in the F% ledger. If the amount in the F% ledger is zero, the system calculates the percent complete based on the computation method that is assigned to the account.

7.3 Reviewing Basic Job Information

This section provides an overview of basic job inquiry and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Job Status Inquiry: Basic (P512100).

  • Review basic job information.

7.3.1 Understanding Basic Job Inquiry

You use the Job Status Inquiry: Basic program to review the actual costs and units, budgeted costs and units, committed costs and units, and projected final values from the Account Balances table using columns that are predefined. Processing options enable you to specify which columns to display so that you can customize the inquiry form as needed. The form provides options to display period, cumulative (year-to-date), or inception-to-date amounts. Inception-to-date includes the balance forward amount from the prior year in conjunction with the year-to-date totals. For original budget amounts and units, the system displays information from the BORG field (original budget) for the amount or units ledger. For revised budget amounts and units, the system displays information from the period amount fields (AN01 - AN14) for the amount or units ledger.


Note:

Revised budget ledgers include the JA and JU ledgers, plus any additional ledgers that you set up and use in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost.

See Setting Up the Job Cost System.

7.4 Reviewing Job Information with User Defined Columns

This section provides overviews of mobile enterprise applications for field status review and the Job Status Inquiry-User Defined Columns program (P512000) and discusses how to:

  • Define inquiry columns.

  • Set processing options for Job Status Inquiry User Defined Columns (P512000).

  • Review job information with user defined columns.

7.4.1 Mobile Enterprise Applications for Field Status Review (Release 9.1 Update)

The following mobile applications are available, and can be used to review field status on a mobile device:

  • Field Status Review (Tablet and Smartphone)

These applications require system administrator configuration before they are available to individual users. Contact your system administrator to determine whether these applications are available for use.

Additionally, see the following topic in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Mobile Enterprise Applications Implementation Guide:

Field Status Review Mobile Application

7.4.2 Understanding Job Status Inquiry-User Defined Columns Program (P512000)

The Job Status Inquiry User Defined Columns program (P512000) provides the most flexibility for reviewing the important job or project information. Unlike the Job Status Inquiry Basic program, which retrieves information only from the Account Balances table, the P512000 program can retrieve information from both the Account Balances table and Account Ledger (F0911) table. You can use dates for partial periods and select unposted records from the F0911 table.

Using this program, you decide the columns to display, the sequence in which to display the information, and the search criteria to use to retrieve the information, such as dates, cost code ranges, posted status, and so on. Processing options let you specify default values for search criteria, and column versions let you save selected columns. By using both processing options and column versions, you can set up multiple versions of the inquiry program for different types of searches.

7.4.2.1 Setting Up Columns

You select the columns to display on the Job Status Inquiry form from a list that contains the most frequently used columns. Each column on the list is set up using a formula that determines the type of information that the system retrieves. The standard formulas are hard-coded to retrieve amounts, units, and units at the header level of the account.

You use the Define Column Inquiry program (P51921) to add, review, and revise column information. The program provides a list of the standard formula numbers that are used in the predefined columns. You can create new columns to display additional information by setting up the standard formulas in an equation. You use the basic math symbols (+, –, *, ÷) in conjunction with the standard formula numbers to create the equations for new columns. You can also use parentheses () to nest equations.

For example, original budget amounts for the JA ledger are hard-coded to use formula 2 and revised budget amounts are hard-coded to use formula 3. If you wanted to display the variance between these two amounts, you could set up a column for budget variance and enter the equation 2 – 3 as the formula. You can also create formulas for ledger types other than those used in the standard formulas, such as JA, AA, and HA, by completing the Description 01,Description 02, and Special Handling fields of user-defined code (UDC) 51/IL. When the fields are completed, the corresponding numeric codes for the amount and unit ledgers appear in the standard formula list.

See Understanding UDCs for Job Cost.

This program also provides a Multiplier field to assist you with keeping formulas simple. For example, if you wanted to multiply the result of the formula by 3, rather than using nested equations, you can enter 3 as the multiplier. You can also assign a data item to the column and use it to add glossary information.

The system stores column information in the Inquiry Columns table (F5192).

7.4.2.2 Setting Up and Using Column Versions

When you finish setting up the Job Cost Inquiry form with the columns that you want, you can save the columns specified in a version. You can select up to 20 columns to appear on the form and save in a version, and you can save as many versions as you want. When you have a version saved, you enter that version into the Column Version field on the Job Status Inquiry form, and the system displays the columns specified. You create column versions by selecting Save Columns from the Form menu on the Job Status Inquiry form. When you save a version, the system displays an additional form that you use to name the version. The system stores versions by user ID.

Although you must specify columns for this program, you do not have to save them as versions. When you exit the job status inquiry program, the system automatically saves the columns that you set up as a column version and assigns it the user ID. When you access the program again, the system automatically uses the version that it saved for the user ID, unless you enter another column version. Using column versions, set up several inquiry formats that are interchangeable. Because you can modify column versions, using the feature is not a disadvantage. Column versions are also used by the progress entry programs.

To revise the columns in an existing version, you remove the columns from the column selection on the Job Status Inquiry form and save the version. You do not need to rename the version to revise it; however, you can use an existing version to create another version, that you can modify. To delete a column version, you must use the Column Versions - User Overrides program (P98950). Because this program is used by several systems, you must enter the program number for the P512000 in the Application field to display the correct versions, and then click Delete.


Important:

Do not use the Copy feature in the Column Versions - User Overrides program to create new versions. The P512000 program does not recognize versions that are copied in this manner. To copy a version, save an existing version on the Job Status Inquiry form and assign it a new name.

7.5 Reviewing Budget Information by Ledger Type

This section provides an overview of the Revised Budget by Ledger Type program (P51216) and discusses how to review budget information by ledger type.

7.5.1 Understanding the Revised Budget by Ledger Type Program (P51216)

You use the Revised Budget by Ledger Type program (P51216) to review the activity for a specific account for all of the budget revision ledger types. The system provides a detail line for each budget ledger type that has amounts or units for the account specified. You can select whether to display amounts, units, or both. The program displays these fields for amounts and units, depending on the option that you select:

  • Original budget

  • Beginning balance

  • YTD changes

  • Revised budget

The system retrieves information from the Account Balances table (F0902) based on the period or date that you specify.

7.5.2 Form Used to Review Budget Information By Ledger Type

Form Name Form ID Navigation Usage
Work With Revised Budget Account Balance W51216A Job Cost Inquiries (G5112), Revised Budget by Ledger Type Review account balances for the revised budget ledger types that have amounts or units greater than zero.

7.5.3 Reviewing Budget Information by Ledger Type

Access the Work With Revised Budget Account Balance form.

Beg Balance Amount (beginning balance amount)

Enter the cumulative prior year-end balance. The system uses this amount as the beginning balance for balance sheet and job cost accounts.


Note:

Do not confuse this amount with the prior year-end net posting amount. The prior year-end net posting amount includes only the postings from the prior year. It does not include the ending balance of the previous year. The prior year-end net postings are typically used for profit and loss statement comparisons.

YTD Changes Amount (year-to-date changes amounts)

Enter the total amount to revise the original budget amount through the period or date specified.

Revised Budget Amount

Enter the sum of the original budget amount and the year-to-date changes amount.

7.6 Reviewing Accounts Payable Information by Job

This section provides an overview of the Accounts Payable Inquiry by Job program (P04220) and discusses how to review accounts payable information by job.

7.6.1 Understanding the Accounts Payable Inquiry by Job Program (P04220)

Use the Accounts Payable Inquiry by Job program (P04220) to review accounts payable vouchers that were matched during the procurement process, as well as those that were manually entered for the job by each supplier. This information helps you track the costs that are associated with each task of the job (based on supplier) and the job as whole.

The system displays the gross amount, open amount, discount information, dates (general ledger and invoice), and other referential information such as the invoice number, purchase order number, and bank account. You can review each pay item of the voucher separately or you can summarize all of the pay items to display information by document number. The program also provides information about whether the voucher is paid. If the voucher is paid, you can review payment information by selecting the voucher record.

Because this program is informational only, to revise voucher information or place the voucher on hold for payment, you must use the Standard Voucher Entry program (P0411).

The system displays information from the Accounts Payable Ledger table (F0411).
