About computing time and materials invoices

Sage 100 Contractor computes billing amounts from job cost records assigned billing status 1-Open. When you compute a single job and phase, you can include the phase on the invoice. If you compute more than one job and phase at a time, invoices are posted by job, not by job and phase.

In the Job Costs window, the In Process checkbox indicates the cost record has been computed. If you do not want to invoice the cost at all, change the billing status.

In the Time and Materials Billing window, the Calculated checkbox indicates that invoices have been calculated in the Time and Materials Billing window for the jobs computed. When you post invoices, Sage 100 Contractor clears the Calculated checkbox.

If you calculate time and materials invoices in error, you can remove them if they are not posted.

Note: During the compute, the window's status bar displays “Skipping job XXX without a billing setup” when it is computing records across a range of jobs and some of the jobs do not have T&M billing setup.
