The Job Costing Module exists as a Subsidiary Module of the General Ledger. To fully balance your system and guarantee that all components are in line it is important to cross check ‘Control Accounts’ in the General Ledger with the balance of the sub ledgers.
In the case of the Job Costing module, this is the 'Work in Progress' account(s). When you created a Job Type in the Job Costing Module, you would have assigned a 'Work in Progress' account to each Job Type. This account is your 'WIP Control' account.
This process explains how you balance the WIP Control account in the General Ledger to the Job Cost balances. This should be done once a month as part of your end of month procedures.
