Job Costing
23. The Job Costing form is used to enter the estimated costs expected for
the Job. These estimated amounts are used to compare to the
actual costs as they are posted to the Job.
The Job Costing form is divided
into three columns; Estimated Costs, Actual Costs and WIP.
Part of the initial Job data entry is to enter the estimated costs
for the job. As actual costs are incurred and posted to the
Job, these amounts are displayed in the WIP column if your company
is using Work in Process accounts or in the Actual Costs column if
not using WIP.
Users with access to the Job
Costing form may view the Job Costs any time while the job is in
progress to see how the job is performing compared to the estimated
costs.
The estimated costs entered by the
User are divided into five elements; Parts, Labor, Overhead, Other
and Commissions. Auto calculate buttons are available for the
Parts, Labor and Commission fields.
Parts
When pressing the
Calculate Cost Estimate button to the right of the Parts field, the application
will multiply the part quantity times the standard cost of the part
(if using standard costing) or the current average cost of the part
(if using average costing) to arrive at estimated parts cost for
the Job.
Labor
There are two Calculate Cost Estimate buttons
to the right of the Labor field. When
the 
button is pressed, the application will multiply
the total labor units entered on Install Charge Lines and any labor
units from the Materials list times the estimated labor units
factor on the Job Type setup to arrive at a total estimated labor
dollars for the Job. Pressing the 
button will open the Job Labor
Tasks form. This form is used
to breakdown the estimated labor costs into separate Labor Task
lines. If this form is setup, your company will be able to
compare the estimated costs by labor type to the actual costs
entered on Labor Timesheets.
