Lists - Jobs Error

Hi Geoffs56 

 

From the screenshots,you have provided the system appears to be working as intended. 

The Income, Cost and Expense columns in the Job list record the amount that has gone against the respective accounts types for that job. This is done irrespective of whether the transaction that is generating those jobs amounts is paid or not.

 

Now, in your case, you have:

• A purchase to a cost of sales account for $1549.82. This will increase the cost of sales amount by $1548.82.
• A sale to the cost of sale account for $2818.18 (or $3,100 tax inclusive). This will decrease the cost of sales amount by $2818.18

The result of which the cost of sales amount has a negative value for that job: -1268.90 (1548.82 + - 2818.18). As the cost of sales is a negative value it will be a profit for that job thus show as what you have in the Job list window (Cost -$1268.90 and a Profit of $1268.90).
