As a bookkeeper for small businesses since 1980, he's seen it all.   And as a senior member of the C&P Helpdesk, Kent's heard it all, too. There's no bookkeeping question he hasn't answered -- and he's ready to help you. So go ahead, ask Kent. CONFUSED BILLING Question: Why is it that every time I go to bill a client, I can't remember what to bill? It's driving me crazy! Kent says: The debit and credit accounts on your job tasks automate the financial accounting for job costs and client billing. These default accounts are copied from the Task Table when a new task is added to a job ticket. They are then copied to A/P and A/R invoices whenever you type in a job task then press Tab. They prevent data-entry errors that can make your financials less accurate, since cGLs (i.e., credit G/L accounts) and dGLs (i.e., debit G/L accounts) are set by default. They ensure that the same G/L accounts will be updated whenever a certain job task is used for costing or billing. (Plus, it's simpler for users since they don't have to decide which debit or credit G/L account to use for job costing and billing). The job task's cGL is copied to client invoices, and is an income G/L account. The job task's dGL is copied to vendor invoices and job cost checks, and represents a cost G/L account.
