Introduction
Update Job Item Cost is a batch job that updates the usage costs in the job ledger entries to match the actual costs in the item ledger entry. Job planning lines that are related to the updated item ledger entry are also updated if they have not yet been manually modified or transferred to a sales invoice. This feature ensures that job costs are updated for any changes in item costs because of cost adjustments and changes in item application.
If adjustment value entries have a different date than the original value entry, such as when the inventory period is closed, then the job ledger is not updated.
Two ways that you can update the job item cost are:
Run the Update Job Item Cost batch job.
Enable the Automatic Update Job Item Cost option on the Jobs Setup page.
To run the Update Job Item Cost batch job, select the Search for page icon in the upper-right corner of the page, enter update job item cost, and then select the related link.
To enable the Automatic Update Job Item Cost option on the Jobs Setup page, select the Search for page icon in the upper-right corner of the page, enter jobs setup, and then select the related link.
You can find the Automatic Update Job Item Cost field on the General FastTab.
