    Hi Neil, 

     

    I actually called your team and spoke to Nic who was really helpful. 

     

    We did find a solution which was on the job costing report you have to tick the box that says include Balance Sheet Accounts and this will bring up any liabilities put to that job number. 

     

    So all sorted but thank you for your reply 

     

    Have a great weekend

Hi Rebecca2 

 

Within AccountRight, jobs are designed to track income and expense accounts to determine the profit or loss on a venture. Balance sheet accounts, like liability accounts aren’t tracked as part of the job reports.

 

Unlike jobs, Categories can be used to track transactions against balance sheet accounts. That said Categories can only be assigned to a transaction as a whole, and not specific lines within a transaction
