Post miscellaneous charges to a job

Requires the Post: Miscellaneous permission. See Work Order permissions.

Steps

  1. On the job you want to post a miscellaneous charge to, open the job's action menu and select Add Posting.

    The Add Posting panel opens with this job already selected. If the job is closed, saving a posting later in this flow prompts you to reopen it first — confirm the prompt to continue.

  2. In the Posting Type tabs, select Miscellaneous.

  3. In the Item field, enter a name or identifier for the charge. This is a free-text field, not a lookup — enter whatever identifies the charge for this job.

  4. Enter the Price for the item.

  5. Enter the Quantity.

  6. Confirm or change the posting Date. It defaults to today.

  7. Enter a Description of the charge.

  8. Select Post.

The miscellaneous transaction is posted: a "Transaction Posted" confirmation message appears, and the job's transaction list and cost totals update to include it. For what each Miscellaneous field means, see Posting types; for how this posting turns into job and Work Order cost totals, see How postings affect costs.

If this step fails

If selecting Post doesn't complete the posting, check for a "required" message under one of the fields — Item, Price, Quantity, Date, and Description must all be filled in, even though Post itself can be selected before every field is complete.
