Hi Sonia

Thanks for the detailed list - it's obvious you spent a lot of time preparing it. Here is my response:

JobCost/PO integration:
You are incorrect. You CAN apply each detail line on a PO to different a job-phase-category from within Purplesoft's Purchase Orders program.

Profit/loss reporting:
The biggest weakness of Adagio JobCost is its reporting. However, the report you want is easily doable using GridView, and also doable (but not as easily) using Crystal Reports for Adagio. For my JobCost clients, I consider GridView essential.

No description passed thru from AP to JC:
You are correct. In order to populate the description field, you must enter these invoices in PO. But that is the recommended way to do it; your method is a workaround. PO can handle invoices for multiple jobs or spanning multiple orders/receipts.

Vendor names in GL:
The only way you can pass this info thru to the GL expense account is if you set up a job as "simple". Otherwise the details will show up in the WIP (balance sheet) account only. Without seeing the report you want, I can't say this for sure, but I'll bet you can generate the report you need out of JC or AP itself (using GridView or Crystal) instead of the GL.

Actual amounts invoiced:
That's easy, just run the report straight from the JC transaction file for a date range using GridView. Or you can create a GL Source Journal report, reporting on the activity in the WIP (costs) or Billings (sales) account, excluding the source code JC-RE (Job Cost Revenue Recognition).

Since a couple of these issues deal with the integration of PO and JC, you might want to confirm my replies with Purplesoft (www.stiefgroup.com).
