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.
