Purchase Invoice Header

Start by clicking the “Reassign to Job” button in the header on the purchase invoice.

Line Item Options

Individual lines can be moved to a different job, by clicking the folder icon beside the ID and then clicking “Move From Job”.

This can only be done for special order items on a job that use WIP and is not linked to a sales order. If this is not the case, follow the Paid section in this FAQ.

Reassigning Vouchers That Were Not Linked to A Job
Unpaid

If the voucher has not been paid yet: Unpost > Assign the Job > Post.

If the voucher has been paid, manually create a new voucher that has a negative line for that product/cost with no job assigned to it, and a positive line assigned to the job (net $0). This will effectively pull the cost out of “no job” and into the correct job.
