Deleting jobs

Deleting a job in the 3-5 Jobs (Accounts Receivable) window requires that the job have a status of Closed or Refused. In addition, the job cost records existing in the current year must have a status of Open.

You may not delete a job in 3-5 Jobs (Accounts Receivable) if:

• There is a balance in a WIP Asset subaccount that matches the job number, and;
• The job is marked as Post expenses to WIP asset account in 3-5 Jobs (Accounts Receivable), and;
• The WIP Asset account is marked to use the Job# as Subaccount in 1-7 Ledger Accounts.

These restrictions help maintain the balance between job costs and the general ledger and the consistency between deleting jobs in 3-5 Jobs (Accounts Receivable) and removing jobs in 1-6 Period/Fiscal Year Management.

To delete a job:

Note: If a WIP job with a balance does not have any current year job costs, you may delete it, but first you have to clear the Post expenses to WIP asset account check box.
