Running the Integrity Tests

By selecting All Tests, a series of integrity tests can be run at any time on all of the job cost master and detail transaction files to check for any errors or corruption in the files. In addition, the Update Job Master and the Update Billing Totals options may be selected in order to update the job to date totals for costs and contract billing amounts. Please note that these tests are performed automatically with the System Administrator > Month End option.

The Job Cost Integrity Tests consist of four options: All Tests, Update Job Master, Update Billing Totals , Update Prior Year Revenue and Update Production Units by Cost Phase.  The All Tests option runs a series of integrity tests on all of the job cost files to check for errors or corruption in the files. The update options are used to update the master file totals whenever errors are generated in the payables system that indicate a conflict between the master lists and the detail files.
