How do cost transactions move from Paymate Platinum (US)to JobCost? In the old days of ACCPAC, you could simply go into JobCost and retrieve the payroll transactions. Is that still true, or is it done through Import Cost Batches?

If it is through Import Cost Batches, do I have to create a template, or is the default one OK?

I am getting an error message on the Paymate side when trying to create a JobCost export file telling me "The file name is invalid for Adagio". Is this a problem on the Paymate side, or is there supposed to be a valid file name? I am using the most current release of Paymate.

Thanks

Steve

Hello Steve,

Adagio JobCost will recognize the file as a Payroll retrieval batch if the file name is: PRAJBTCH.

Using that file name got me past that problem and on to the next one.

Now that I have created a file PRAJBTCH (and I viewed in using Wordpad to assure myself that it contains the data I sent out of Paymate), I would like to retrieve the file into Adagio JobCost.

When I select Maintenance|Retrieve Batches, I see four options - AP, AR, Inventory and Payroll. In this particular case, both Inventory and Payroll are checked off. The Proceed button is available to click. Since I don't want to retrieve the Inventory, I unchecked that option, and immediately the Proceed button became grayed out, even though Payroll is still check off. Turning Inventory back on make the Proceed button active again.

How can I retrieve only Payroll cost transactions?

JobCost 68B does not interface with InventoryControl yet.

This problem was resolved by renaming a very old ICAJBTCH file in the dataset.
