Checking Posted Items
When items are posted from Ledgers
and Logbooks in the MacNail construction accounting software, the cc? column is used to record the
result of the posting. You can scan down through this column to check the success of the posting operation.
*
If the cc? column is blank, the item has not yet been posted.error messages
*
If the cc? column contains a number, that item has been successfully posted to a Job Cost Control worksheet.
*
If the cc? column contains an error message, that item could not be posted because of missing or erroneous
information. The exact reason the posting was not made is described in the text of the error message.
NOTE-- Goldenseal job
costing software does not require this step. It automatically
posts job costs when you enter expenses. Goldenseal
was released in 2000, and replaces MacNail
accounting.
You may see any of the following error messages
in the cc? column:
*bad cat.--the listed category is not on the
Job Cost Control sheet.
*bad deposit (Ledger only)--the deposit amount
is not a legitimate number.
*bad subcat. (2 layer cost sheets only)--the
