Job Types Maintenance

JOB TYPES MAINTENANCE

DESCRIPTION: The Job Types Maintenance program is used for setting up job types for job costing purposes. The Accounts Payable Post, Payroll Post, Inventory Post and General Ledger Post programs will ask you for job types if you have selected the USE JOB COSTING option in your Preferences file.

(If you do not use job costing, be sure that "Use Job Costing" is not check marked in Preferences.)
