The job costing grid should be eliminated. Job costing should be more closely tied to the General Ledger. There should simply be an extra field on each detail line of the A/P invoice or journal entry. It would make reporting a lot simpler. Sage 100 should be able to run a report for a specific GL code and sort/total it by job. Since job costs are entered on the grid, it is too far removed from the GL.

I agree. Requiring two screens to enter information slows the AP entering too much. Creating a subsidary GL acount that matched the job number would be a temporary fix to sort GL account by job. Still too slow to be effective.
Yes I completely agree! I am pretty fast because I use keyboard toggles to go back and forth, but it slows me down a lot. When I key Subcontracts in 7-1 I fly because everything is on one screen. Not all accounts require a Job so why can there be a cost cost column that can be filled in if applicable.
When using sub-accounts as Job Numbers (WIP); somehow the entries between G/L and J/C have to be controlled. I spend a lot of time reconciling errors every month.
Can you please let us know if this change is being considered? Lots of wasted time entering twice.
I've also suggested this many times over the past 15 years .... Sage has yet to address this despite it being requested many many times by many users.
