Transactions – Batch Timesheets

The Batch Timesheets program can be used to post employee labour hours to one or more jobs. Batches can be held, recalled for further postings or amendments until all of your postings are ready for batch processing. When the batch is processed, the costs are posted to your jobs and hence your WIP is updated in MJC. A Batch Posting Audit Report can optionally be printed. Once posted, the batch ID is cleared and can be used again.

You can use this option to:

manually post labour to jobs
post labour from or to Lewis Paypack using the Lewis import/export programs
post labour from Micropay using the Micropay data import program
post labour from a CSV file
post labour to Portapay.

Technical Tip

You can also post labour directly to a job using the TRANSACTIONS | JOB TRANSACTIONS menu option (refer to "Adding Labour to a Service Job").
When service/lump sum jobs are invoiced and/or internal or manufactured jobs posted to MDS or MGL, the Job Costing system flags the current transactions being taken up (or as having been costed) to ensure a balance between your Cost of Sales and WIP being deducted. This method is also utilised to collect items for calculations of sales tax where applicable.
