Integrated Job Cost Module

The Project System has a Job Cost module that is linked to various activities throughout the system. Although not connected to an Accounting System. This module is very effective in tracking the costs of a project and informing the User as to the progress and costs of a project.

In the Job Cost Module, as you receive items to a project, the system accrues costs to that project. Additionally, you can manually or automatically enter labor hours to a project including personnel, overhead and overtime. You can also enter miscellaneous costs to a project as well.

As costs are accrued, you can run reports to determine the profitability of a project. Hopefully the project will be profitable, but as we all know, some are not and there are alarms that go off when costs exceed the estimated price of a job.

The Job Cost Module is still being developed and additional features are constantly being added to it.

NEW The Job Cost Module now shows Committed Costs on Un-received Purchase Orders and calculates the anticipated Gross Profit on a Project when these Items come in.

NEW The Job Cost Module now lets you do External Reporting or Actual Costs using a centralized Cost Database. This is helpful when you are working with External Accounting Systems.
