I have a client that needs to code journal entries against projects. Is that possible within BC?

Please advise.

The broader way of doing it is with jobs: docs.microsoft.com/.../walkthrough-managing-projects-with-jobs

The minimal way is with dimensions

I appreciate the response, but that does not answer my question, nor do the links help. Within BC jobs is there a way to code a journal entry against a project. I want to be able to enter normal journal entry, and code selected lines against a job.

Is that possible? Please advise.

For postings that hit both the job and the g/l use the job g/l journal. For postings that just hit the job use the job journal.

Hi, Have you tried the Create Job Journal lines function onf the Job Planning Lines page?

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Thank you Josh,

I saw a short video of the Job G/L Journal and it still looks a bit clumsy as the offset is on the same line which doesn't make much sense. I am actually trying to do something like the following

Debit 6200 Payroll Expense 5000 Project 8810

Credit 1200 Payroll Cash 4000 No Project

Credit 2400 Payroll WH and Liabilities 1000 No Project

This is coming from a much larger payroll entry with multiple debits (and maybe a rare credit) against payroll expense. Can I accomplish this in BC Jobs?

Please advise. Thank you.

That method is fine. Videos will showcase everything on one line but real users will have multiples. Providing it balances at the end it’s fine. Balancing considers date, document type and document no. too
