Understanding the Job Progress Entry Program (P510212)

You use the Job Progress Entry program (P510212) to review the progress information by job instead of by account. Like the Account Progress Entry program, the system displays the Job Status Inquiry form (with user-defined columns) when you select Job Progress Entry. Processing options for the Job Status Inquiry program should be set to automatically launch the Job Progress Entry program when you select an account record.

Unlike the Account Progress Entry program, which displays only the fields that you can change, the Progress Entry by Job form provides predefined columns that you can select to display the columns that you need to review. If the computation method lets a field be updated, you can enter the change directly on the form.

If the computation method lets you make revisions to the budget, the system updates the F0902 table exactly as it does when you enter budget revisions using the Budget Revisions program (P510171) with this exception: the system assigns FP (field progress) to the F0911 audit trail records that the system generates for the budget revisions. If you revise budget information using the P510171 program, you can specify the document type to assign to the journal entries using processing options.

Note: Processing options determine the budget ledger type to update when you make revisions to the budget. Be sure to verify that the ledger type is correct before you enter budget revisions.
