Where do you enter the depreciation? Are you entering this in Equipment Cost?

Yes I am entering them in the equipment cost but when my CFO runs a GL account it isn't hitting accumulated depreciation and I can't seem to find out where to see what account it's going to, I am assuming by looking at the book I should be able to find it in the cost debit account table but I can't find that, it's not on my system the way the book tells me.

Let's determine how EQ is set to retrieve the expense accounts. In EQ, File, Company Settings, EQ Settings, GL Entry what is set for the retrieval of the Cost Debit account?  Please include what is set as the default account and which boxes are checked in this section. 

I must not have the settings I need to do this.  I only have the following options in company settings: General, File locations, custom descriptions, custom fields.  Can you give me what it is suppose to be so when I do get the correct permissions I can see.

Would this be why I can't find the cost debit accounts table?  The book says to go to equipment cost>setup>account table>cost debit accounts.  The only thing I have under setup, rate tables is revenue rates and cost rates and cost rates only shows depreciation as equipment.

Ok here is what I found out and I need to know how to change how the cost code is coded to the correct account.  Right now they set our depreciation cost to debit equipment cost account and it credits the construction equipment asset account.  

I need it to debit equipment expense account and credit accumulated depreciation.  

I can't seem to figure out where to change the cost codes so it automatically puts the correct accounts in there.

Thank you for your help.

Hello...I just met with my CFO and was wondering if there was a way to change what accounts an individual cost code goes to?  We can't seem to figure that out.  I would think when you set up your codes it would ask you what accounts you want them to go to right?

The retrieval of GL accounts for Job Cost entries is configured in JC Settings. Those options are set at the time of initial configuration of your system based on discussions with your CFO or Controller. The options include retrieval by Job (meaning that a single GL account is assigned to each Job under JC > Setup > Jobs), retrieval by Cost Code (GL accounts are assigned to the Standard Cost Codes when created; creation of actual posting Cost Codes for specific jobs copy the settings from the Standard Cost Codes. The GL accounts assigned to actual cost codes for any job  can be changed once created by going to Setup > Cost Codes; changing the GL account on a Standard Cost Code will only affect actual posting Cost Codes created after the change. Another retrieval method is by Categories, if your system is configured to use Categories. GL accounts are assigned to your Standard Categories, and work similarly to the Standard Cost Codes by acting as a template when actual posting Categories are created for specific Jobs. In the Job settings there is also an option to set a Default GL account which comes into play if a specific Job/Cost Code/Category (depending on your retrieval method) has no GL account assigned.  If you do not see the menu for Job Cost > Settings, you may not have permissions assigned to access that menu item in the Security settings for your user account or assigned security group.
