This chapter provides overview information, processing options, special processing, and reports for the following application:

12.1 One View Job Inquiry (P51220)

Access the One View Job Inquiry (P51220) from the Job Cost Inquiries (G5112) menu. Use the One View Job Inquiry program to gain insight into various aspects of a project. The One View Job Inquiry program uses the One View Job Inquiry business view (V51220), which includes columns from the Account Master table (F0901), Business Unit Master table (F0006), and the Extended Job Master table (F5108). This application provides project information, including month-to-date, year-to-date, and job-to-date amounts from the Account Balances table (F0902) for the Job Cost Ledger Types (AA, AU, JA, JU, HA, HU, PA, PU), and calculated amounts for earned value and work in progress. Additional reporting is possible through account or business unit category codes. For example, you can run reports by company organizations and by responsible project managers.
