Why would labor hours charged to a certain union code for a specific job be posting to the suspense account during time entry?

Question

For some reason, when I enter hours for employees with a union classification of Foreman (JC cost code 01-006) to a certain job, they post to the suspense account. It's specific to that job and cost code, no problem with other jobs. I have no idea why this is happening... suggestions???

You'll have to figure out how your GL accounts fill during enter time. For example, the pays for us, are GL's pulling from the category level in JC. If the category for a specific job under a cost code is missing it's GL account, then the pay would go to suspense. Your GL accounts may pull from the category or the cost code level. Look at one of the entries that worked, and go to job cost for that different job, and look where the GL account exists. Then look at the job and cost code or category for the job that failed, and you may find it's missing an account number from the same GL field. If it doesn't exist, then it's going to post to suspense. We see this happen if someone added the job "on the fly" instead of using Copy Job to setup the job.
