This document demonstrates how to adjust a posted, detailed bill. There are three methods to do this: (1) amending a posted certificate through the Job Receivables module, (2) making an adjustment entry to the certificate, and (3) voiding the certificate through the Job Receivables module, and starting over.
Note: Only the most recent posted certificate for a series can be voided or adjusted.
Amending a Posted Certificate (through Job Receivables)
In this method, only certain items of a posted invoice can be changed. No financial amounts
can be changed.
Go to Job Receivables > Applications/Certificates > Amend Posted Certificates (Figure 1).
Click the Open folder in the row of the appropriate certificate to edit (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Open Appropriate Certificate
Items that can be changed include the Description, Certificate Reference, Due Date, and Certificate Comments (Figure 2).
When finished making changes, click Save in the bottom, right corner of the page (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Make Changes, Click Save
If the desired changes can’t be made by amending a posted certificate, there are two more options:
Making an adjustment entry to the invoice (page 3)
Voiding the invoice, then creating a new invoice with the correct information (page 12)
Making an Adjustment Entry
In this method, the user will make an adjustment entry to the original invoice without having to void the certificate.
Go to Job Contract Manager > Select Working Job (Figure 3).
Click the hyperlink of the appropriate job (Figure 3)
Figure 3: Select Working Job
A sub-folder for the job will appear in the tree menu. In Job Contract Manager, go to (job number) > Billing > Certifications (Figure 4).
Click Add to add an adjustment batch (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Click to Add an Adjustment Batch
Select the Series of the certificate to adjust (Figure 5).
Enter in the Internal Reference number of the certificate to adjust in the field for Adj To. This number can be found by using the Lookup (…) (Figure 5).
Select JRCT-Job Rec Certificate as the Transaction Type (Figure 5).
Enter in the Certificate Date (Figure 5).
Then, click Save in the bottom, right corner of the screen (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Enter in Adjustment Certificate Information, Click Save
Back at the Certifications page, click the hyperlink of the adjustment certificate, which should be marked “1-STARTED” (Figure 6).
Notice that in the line of the started adjustment batch is differentiated because of the Adjustment To column (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Click the Hyperlink of the Started Certificate
Under Measures, click Items with Retention.
Alternately, if billing for Materials Stored, click Items, Retention and Material under Measures (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Click Items, Retention and Material
Click the Open folder in the appropriate row (Figure 8).

For this example, let’s say the original certificate was incorrectly entered in as $17,000 when it should have been entered in as $15,000.
In the line, enter in “-2,000” under Work Completed This Measure (Figure 9).
Notice that the value for Completed & Stored TD re-calculates and changes from 17,000 to 15,000 after “-2,000” is typed in for Work Completed This Measure (Figure 9)
Then, click the floppy disk to Save the line (Figure 9).

When finished entering the values of the adjustment certificate, go to the Options drop-down at the top, right corner of the screen and click Submit to move forward (Figure 11).
Note: Steps 23-27 may be different for some users. The following 4 steps, depending on parameters, might only be 2.

Go to the Options drop-down again and select Create Unposted Batch to move forward (Figure 12).
Figure 12: Click Create Unposted Batch

Next, go to Job Receivables > Inquiries > Applications/Certificates Inquiry (Figure 16).
In Figure 16, the rows of the original certificate batch (17080010) and the adjustment certificate batch (17080012) are shown.
Figure 16: Applications/Certificates Inquiry
The Balance in the row of the original certificate batch will update to the corrected amount ($15,000 for this example) if the CS parameter AUTOCASH (to Auto Post Prepayment Cash Batches) is set to Y.
However, for this example, the CS parameter AUTOCASH has been set to N (Figure 17) (and the Balance has not updated and reads at the incorrect amount (18,360 = 17,000 + sales tax), as seen in Figure 16), and there are a few more steps that need to be completed.
Figure 17: CS Parameter AUTOCASH
Go to Job Receivables > Cash Receipts > Cash Entry (Figure 18).
Highlight the batch that was auto-created as a part of the adjustment process (Figure 18).
Then, select Post from the drop-down on the bottom action bar and click the arrow to “Apply Action” (Figure 18).
Figure 18: Post the Cash Entry Batch
Once the Cash Entry for the adjustment batch is posted, go back to Job Receivables > Applications/Certificates > Applications/Certificates Inquiry (Figure 19).
Now, the amounts for the original certificate are updated and accurate (Figure 19).
15,000 + sales tax = correct Balance of 16,200.00
Figure 19: Amounts for Original Certificate are Updated/Accurate
