This is not meant to be a "how to" topic. I am suggesting that the software lock you out of selecting 1-Job for an item that the company has a subcontract for and only allowed to select 7-Subcontract.
I did call Support to ask them if there was a way to block the Project Manager from selecting 1-Job and they only be allowed to select 7-Subcontract and they told me at this time there is not a way to block them and told me that I should put it out there as a suggestion. That is why I put it out there as a suggestion. Now what?

I'm not sure I understand your question/need. JC cost types are user defined (typically, Labor, Materials, Equipment, Subcontract, etc.) and independent of AP invoice line types (e.g. 1=Job, 2=Inventory, 3=Expense, ..... 7=Subcontract).
We did recently add warnings in AP invoice entry (Trans Entry and Unapproved) to inform you of an open PO or Subcontract, should you attempt to enter an invoice for the vendor using a different line type with matching information (i.e. same job, phase, cost type).
For a clearer explanation, I encourage you place a call to Support.
Keep in mind this forum is intended for suggestions and ideas to improve the software - not 'how to' training questions.
