job cost posted with audit trail off what will happen will it post to the gl

SUGGESTED

When I went to job cost I went into tools and check marked the audit setup activities.  This is the only way I can produce an accurate job cost report for that weeks payroll.  So normally I have to go into company settings and change the month because if you are more than a month behind it will not let you produce this report.  Then I usually turn off the audit entry before posting.   Well I accidently posted before turning it off so now it will not print the report that I need.  How do I make sure that it posted properly.

    Hi Cheryl,

    I suggest you give Sage 300 CRE Support a call and let one of the analysts assist you with your workflow. It shouldn't be necessary to turn Audit Setup to get good reports and to advance the month in Job Cost there is a Task to run rather than doing it in JC Settings.

    Cheryl,

    Please understand that "Audit Trails" merely allows you to change stored/accumulated accounting amounts that should otherwise only be updated by the system when you process entries, such as Tasks > Post Entries or using Tasks > Close Month. And typically you only would turn on Audit Trails and change an accumulator after you had determined that there was a difference between the transaction detail and the accumulated totals. Audit Trails is used to correct system hiccups which rarely occur but require manual correction. Audit Trails, as Denise correctly noted in her reply, have no effect on your normal monthly workflow or your reporting.

    You should be aware, however, that Job Cost can only post one month in the future beyond the "Current Month". If you're not regularly using "Tasks > Close Month", then you may have "future" entries that are two or more months beyond the "Current" month which are not yet posted. The solution is to use "Tasks > Close Month" to get you to the current month, and the use Tasks > Post Entries to post those entries sitting in your New.JCT file.

    Support will be able to help you troubleshoot if there are other issues.
