Job Costing

Module Options

Enter / Change Job Information <See Screen Shot>
Use this option to create new jobs and review existing ones. The Enter/Change Job Information screen tracks total billings and receipts. You may review actual to estimated costs.

Enter / Change Job Estimate <See Screen Shot>
Use this option to create initial estimates once jobs are created. Estimates will not directly affect an existing job until they are approved and posted.

Enter Change Order
Use this option to enter change orders to initial estimates which have been approved and posted. Posted change orders update the total estimate for the job.

Enter Transaction <See Screen Shot>
Use this option to enter transactions directly to a job. Transactions entered in this option will not affect the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable or Payroll module. Use this option when treating the Job Costing module as a "stand-alone" package.

Maintain Stages
Use this option to create and/or edit Stages for jobs. Stages are user-defined and once created, are available for selection throughout the entire system.

Maintain Task Codes
Use this option to create and/or edit Task Codes for jobs. Task codes are user-defined and once created, are available for selection through the entire system. Task codes are used by the system for Worker's Compensation reporting.

Maintain Time Codes
Use this option to create and/or edit Time Codes. Time Codes are used when creating time cards for employees. You may create separate default rates for regular and overtime hours. 

Enter / Change Time Cards
Use this option to create time card entries for employees. Time may be assigned to specific jobs, stages and tasks. A single employee's hours may be disbursed to an unlimited number of jobs.

Post Time Cards
Use this option to post time cards. Once posted, the hours are added to the employee's current pay record in the Payroll module. The posted time cards update the specific job records for total costs.
