How to create a GL posting for a Job Type and Task Type

This function is an extension of the Job Type/Task Type postings. It allows billings and/or revenue to be posted to specific GL accounts for transactions that are assigned to a combination of a specific job type and task type.

A common use case example is where the agency wants to have separate billings and/or revenue accounts for creative services task types where those services were carried out on fee job types or production job types. They would create a Job Type and Task Type posting record for a combination of the Fee job type plus the Creative Services task type and another posting record for a combination of the Production job type plus the Creative Services task type.

  1. Navigate to ACCOUNTING > General Ledger > General Ledger Accounts.
  2. Click on Posting GL Accounts.
