# How to job cost bill records in MYOB Acumatica

In MYOB Acumatica, create each project, tag each bill line with the project using branch, subaccount and project and run a cost-by-project report each month.

Job costing supplier bills means tagging each bill line to a job so you can see cost against budget for every job.

## Before you start

- Projects feature

## The MYOB Acumatica way

Where to find it: Bills and Adjustments > Details tab > Project, Project Task, Cost Code

1. Enable Projects and link it to accounts payable.
2. Code each line to a project, task and cost code.
3. Run project reports for cost against budget.

## Limits in MYOB Acumatica

- Cost code shows only when the Cost Code feature is on.

## The Pulsify way

1. Forward the supplier's invoice to Pulsify. Pulsify reads every row as its own line.
2. Review each line's account and set the job where it applies.
3. Route bills to the person who knows the job, using approval rules.
4. Approve. The bill is created in MYOB Acumatica with each line.

Pulsify connects to MYOB Acumatica. We set up the connection for you.

What Pulsify does not do here:

- Pulsify does not split lines by percentage.
- Job reports are run in MYOB Acumatica.

## Example in MYOB Acumatica

Example Steel Supplies sends one bill for $5,500 including GST. Projects and Cost Code are on. Both lines go to the same project.

- Reinforcing bar: $3,200.00 (Project: EXPROJ-10, Project Task: SLAB, Cost Code: MATERIAL)
- Mesh sheets: $1,800.00 (Project: EXPROJ-10, Project Task: PATH, Cost Code: MATERIAL)

Project reports show $5,000 of cost before GST on EXPROJ-10, split across two tasks, ready to compare with budget.

## Common mistakes

- Turning on Projects but not linking it to accounts payable, so the project columns do not show.
- Coding the whole bill to one project when its lines belong to different projects.
