Click the Go button when you are ready to continue.This function streamlines the process of creating job journal entries to allocate material, labor or subcontractor costs among jobs.
This function allocates the cost dollars that you enter proportionally among the job cost history entries that it finds for the jobs that you filtered on in the initial screen. If you attempt to allocate dollars to a category where no job cost entries exist, zero dollars will be applied.
Typically, this function would be run at the end of the month (or other time period) to allocate stock materials costs among the active jobs for a particular time period (e.g., the stock materials in a sheet metal shop). It enables you to apply costs associated to inventory reductions that have not previously been assigned to specific jobs for multiple jobs simultaneously.
