• Transfer costs from one job to another without manually reversing and re-entering the costs.
• You can add phases of your construction project, costs codes and jobs on the fly from several locations within the software and instantly see the changes reflected within Inventory, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and on your General Ledger.

• Track salesperson’s sales by job.

Track Expenses - Even Indirect Expenses - Accurately and Easily
Track overhead and indirect costs in addition to materials, labor, etc., to identify your true cost and accurately reflect your profit. These may be items built for stock and returned to inventory, or custom assemblies ready to be invoiced.

Add On-the-Fly
Add phases, cost codes and jobs on-the-fly from several locations throughout the software. Last minute changes are no problem — the data is instantly reflected within Inventory, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and on your General Ledger.

Flexible Invoicing
Add non-inventory items to the billing of a make-to-order job. This includes additional service or shipping charges. This feature allows you to bill for additional costs not necessarily part of the business costs, such as miscellaneous charges or purchased components that need to be included on the bill.

Powerful Reports Give You the Information You Need
Analyze any aspect of a job and create an easyto-read report. Run reports for specific cost codes, phases, or even types of cost codes.

Transfers
Transfer costs from one job to another without manually reversing and re-entering the costs.

Flexibility You Need
Reverse a cost activity that came from a vendor back onto that vendor’s account with one reversal transaction in Job Cost.
