  1. Choose Inquiry > Job Cost > Job Status.
  2. Choose a Job and zoom on a Posted Cost Element.
  3. In the Cost Code Summary window, double-click a Cost Code in the scrolling window.
  4. In the Cost Codes Detail window, you can do the following:
    • Choose View Monthly Costs to open the Job CC Monthly Costs window, showing monthly cost amounts for the cost code.
    • Choose View Transactions or zoom on an amount in the Actual Costs column to open the Payroll Transaction Summary window for a labor cost element or the Transaction Summary window for cost elements other than Labor. You can zoom on items in the Transaction Summary window to view original transaction details.
    • Choose View Production Units to open the Production Units Summary window, showing transaction detail for the selected cost code. This window contains a list of all production unit transactions, type, posting date, field percentages, and production quantities.
    • Zoom on an Estimated Cost amount to open the Cost Code Estimate Zoom window, where you can view original and change order estimates. See Revising forecasted costs.
    • Zoom on a Forecasted Cost amount to open the Forecast Cost Revision Entry window, where you can revise and post the forecast cost revision entry. See Using forecasted costs.
    • Enter the field percent complete. For example, the project manager can enter a percent complete based on the work performed to date and job knowledge. If the actual production percent is greater than the estimated field percent, it may indicate a potential cost overrun. This percentage is also used in the Labor Breakdown window and shown on the Job Labor and Projected Variance reports.
    • Enter the production quantity per unit for the current period and the production best amounts. The Production Best field may be used by a project manager to give incentives to employees who top the "production best" in a given time period. If production in the current period is considerably less than the production best, the project manager should take notice and find reasons for the fall in production.
