Before you start entering project information there are a number of steps, which must first be completed.
Step 1 - Maintenance of users
Once you have installed the job cost system you need to provide yourself with access to the job cost options. To do this, access the Maintenance of users option and click on the Security tab. Click on the Job Cost icon and then click on the box to the left of each option. This will provide you with access to every option within the Job Cost module. Once you have completed the set-up, click on the check mark on the navigator bar to accept the entries.
Exit the software and re-enter. This step is necessary to register the changes you have just made in the Maintenance of users option.
Step 2 - Create job cost files
Go to the Job cost module and access the Create job cost files option, which is located under the Procedures button. This option is used to create the files that are required by the job cost system in order to function correctly.
This option should only be executed once, when you are first installing the job cost system. If the file creation process is executed a second time, all job cost data will be lost.
Once these steps have been completed the module is ready to be used.
