Jobs can be set up to track income and expenses related to service jobs. This is particularly useful when multiple jobs are performed for a single customer. When you enter a transaction, the appropriate job number can be assigned to each individual amount. This enables you to associate several jobs with the various amounts in a single transaction.
For example, if a sale includes parts for three different jobs, you can specify these jobs on the invoice. A profit and loss statement can then be prepared for each job.
Specific job-tracking tasks include:
- linking jobs to specific customers
- assigning jobs to individual line items on transactions
- analysing the profit and loss of a job.
In AccountRight Standard, Plus and Premier you can also:
- organise jobs in a hierarchy
- set budgets for each job
- track reimbursable expenses for your jobs
- prepare invoices to reimburse job expenses.
Job types
There are two types of jobs, header and detail.
- Header jobs (Not Basics) total associated detail jobs. You cannot assign transactions to header jobs.
- Detail jobs are assigned to transactions to track income, costs and expenses.
Set up sub-jobs (Not Basics)
You can set up jobs to track individual jobs that form part of a larger job. Note that sub-jobs can be either a detail or header type job.
