Work Centre Codes are used to group the Activity Codes and Sales Codes data within jobs. They are required for all transaction entry but defaults can be applied.
Work Centres provide grouping of Activities for the Cash Flow.
These codes can be generic across the entire system or be specifically maintained for individual contracts through Job Work Centres.
Job Work Centres provide:-
- A restricted range of Work Centres for a Job / Contract.
- Customised descriptions for the restricted Work Centres. They could be named something completely different for the next contract
- Start and End dates for the spread of that Work Centre in Cash Flow Analysis.
To utilise Job Work Centres go to Job Costing Control Parameters and select Yes to "Use Job Work Centres". Note that "No Change to Work Centres" must be set to No.
The Cash Flow can operate using the generic Work Centres but the Cashflow 'Even Spread' can only be done through Job Work Centres.

- 1. As a menu Item
- 2. From View Client Contract Budget Detail
- 3. From CashFlow buton within Contracts
