The Job Cost module is the module which represents the heart of the software. While the General Ledger keeps track of your financial position, the Job Cost module tracks the status of your current jobs. This is the module you will use to find out if you are making a profit on your jobs, and if not, why.
Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Equipment Costing and Inventory all post information into Job Costing. This saves you the time and effort of re-typing this information, and assures greater accuracy since you need to enter the information only one time. Using this information, which is categorized by cost type, categories, phases, and jobs, you are able to print complete reports showing such things as job cost to date, projected job cost, percentage complete, and all the other information vital to the contractor. All these reports may be printed on your printer or displayed on the screen for quick lookup.
The Job Costing module was created with ease of use in mind. We recognize that a system, no matter how feature packed, must be usable by your office personnel. Therefore, we have attempted to phrase all menu selections, help screens, and the manual itself in plain English terminology, making it easy for you to convert from your present system, be it manual or computerized.
