Master file maintenance includes all the functionality to add, change or delete master file record details for employees, operations, areas, departments, items, debtors, and supporting files. This functionality is available via the FILE menu options.

The MJC master files contain non-transactional data – e.g. job numbers, operations, departments, contract start and finish dates, etc. In most instances, the entry of data into one master file calls on information contained in another file.
The master files must be created before you enter any jobs or transaction data in MJC. All blank master files are usually created during the installation process. You may then re-create these files to clear any test data you have worked with while learning the system in preparation for live processing.
If you re-create any master file after you have begun live transactions in that file, all the transactions are deleted. Normally, you don't need to access your master files after you have begun processing data.
You should enter your master files in the order specified in the "Setting up and Configuring MJC".
Once these files have been created, jobs can be created, transactions posted and invoices raised as required.
