ClosedReport Description

The Work in Progress report prints for all currently selected EntitiesCompanies in EntityCompany ID order. It is used to reconcile job costs and billings to the General Ledger.

You can include open, closed, or both open and closed jobs on the report as well as ranges for Job, Phase, and Cost. You can include all or some cost categories, all or some cost activities using user-specified dates, and choose how to print totals: only Job totals, Job and Phase totals, or Job and Phase totals plus cost activity detail.

You can print Job-To-Date costs and billings, allowing you to compare these costs and billings to completed work.

You can print Year-To-Date costs and billings, allowing you to compare costs and billings to expense and revenue accounts for the year.

Other options allow you to report detailed costs for specific time periods: current and future accounting period, a date range, or not to print cost information.

NOTE that this report should be printed during the end-of-month procedure. You should print the report before the month is closed so that you can review Job Cost balances with General Ledger accounts.

Accounting personnel should file reconciling copies of the report with other month-end records.
