| Flexible Job Numbering |
Up to seven characters may be used to designate a job. Large jobs may be broken into "sub-jobs". |
| Flexible Cost Codes | Phases, steps or other categories may be designate using up to nine characters in three segments. |
| Flexible Cost Types | Each cost code may be further detailed with up to 12 user-defined cost types, such as labor, overhead, burden, materials, etc. |
| Overhead and Burden Allocation | Overhead costs are automatically allocated to the job based upon the percentage of work in process. Overhead may be applied on a daily or monthly basis. Burden allocation is the indirect cost associated with labor expenses (i.e., union contributions or employer’s tax) which are difficult to allocate to a specific job. Burden is calculated as a percentage of direct wages or on a cost-per-hour basis. |
| Work-In-Process Accounting | Use when all expenses related to jobs still in progress are posted to a work-in-process asset account in General Ledger. When a job is completed, the total unbilled cost for the job is relieved from work-in-process and posted to cost-of-goods sold. |
| Percentage Completion or Completed Contract | Either of these accounting methods may be used for each job. Percentage Completion will recognize the revenue and cost of sale at the time a job is billed. With Completed Contract, the revenue and cost of sales are not recognized until the job has been completed. |
| Time and Materials Invoices | Invoices may be printed with cost detail information on standard or user-defined custom invoice forms. Billing amounts may be based upon the price per unit or markup over cost. Invoices may be printed in batch form or individually. Invoices for fixed contract jobs may also be printed. |
| Estimates for Proposals and Bids | Estimate information may be entered for bids using information from the Estimate Pricing Files. You may establish templates to use for new estimates. When a contract has been accepted, the estimate information may be transferred to the new job to establish budgets. Estimates may be printed in detail or summary form. |
| Contract and Subcontract History | Contract information is retained to show the original contract amounts and any change orders. Change orders may also be tracked for each subcontract established for a job. |
| Job Transaction Detail Report | Transaction detail is provided for all posting for each job. The detail information may be retained for the life of the job or summarized on a monthly basis. |
| Subcontractor Analysis Report | Contract and cost detail is printed by vendor. A detailed transaction history of cost posting (by invoice number) and payments (by check number) may also be included. Lien amounts and release dates may be traced for each subcontractor. |
| Accounts Receivable Integration | Invoices may be entered, printed and update to Accounts Receivable. Retention may be tracked for each customer. |
| Accounts Payable and Purchase Order Integration | Invoices may be expensed directly to jobs. Retention may be tracked for each vendor. Job cost information may be entered for open purchase orders. Receipt of goods and invoices allow for direct entry of job numbers and cost codes. |
| Payroll and Time Card Integration | Wages may be expensed directly to jobs. Labor expenses may be posted in detail by employee or summarized by pay period. Burden may be calculated and applied to labor cost. When the time card module is used, labor may be posted daily to job cost and weekly to payroll. Time Card also prints a certified payroll report. |
| Inventory Management Integration | Direct costs associated with materials allocated to a job may be posted directly for any issue transactions entered through Transaction Entry. |
| Job Field Report Entry | Percentage completion and units (quantity) information may be entered for a job. The Job Field Report Worksheet may be printed and used to gather information in the field. |
