The ActiveApplications' Job Costing application tracks and reports the actual costs of a job and allows the comparison to estimated costs for some job types. Costing helps your personnel asses and refine the estimating process with this reporting. Costing also reports to ledger those costs and manages the distribution of the expenses and income into appropriate accounts. Costing is heavily dependant upon the inventory application to make the comparison of estimated to actual cost possible. The convenient interface with estimating allows the quick transfer of estimate information to costing. Start the process by selecting the creation of a new job.  

Add a customer to the job for the assignment of invoices created in costing to a customer record. In this case we will select the Randy Jones estimate. To transfer the information to the job record an number of methods can be used. Double click or click on the Add To button or press Enter when the Estimate is highlighted to transfer the information to the job.
 

Notice that the information has been transferred. Estimated quantities have been updated as well as the total billable. This method works great for the fixed price type job. There is also a method where the estimate items can be added to a time and materials job. This can make that process easy to complete. See T & M Invoicing and Estimating Interface for more information.

The job cost function seen here multiplies your productivity because the job is created from the estimate without more work.
