You can roll forward your jobs in bulk to help with forward planning and also save time. This can assist the management of (NZ) monthly reporting, (NZ) GST Returns and (AU) quarterly BAS.

The routine creates a new job for each (AE) client/assignment or (AO) client/job in the selected filter.

When completed:

All jobs, whether they are complete or not, rolled forward if selected in the filter criteria
Each job has the same new job name allocated.
Each new job has its Target Date incremented by the selected period.
The milestones on the new jobs are empty.
The assigned employee is either kept or removed.
The time budget is either kept or removed.
Notes against the job are either kept or removed.
