Question: I'm adding a job invoice, but
I think the wrong billing amount is coming
up. Why?
Kent says: "The billing amount
is based on the job's unbilled costs, which
are totaled up on the "unbilled"
column in the Job Ticket. The "unbilled"
total is updated whenever a job cost is
posted, and should always equal the total
of the job's costs based on the gross
amount, which includes markups and commissions.
If the billing amount seems wrong, cancel
the invoice then find the job in the Job
Tickets window. Look at the task's "unbilled"
total, then print a job cost report to
see its detail. If the job task's costs
(all unbilled costs added together) don't
equal the "unbilled" total,
then there was probably a posting problem."
Question: A job's cost report doesn't
match it's Job Summary. What's wrong?
Kent says: "The job summary's unbilled
column is based on the job's unbilled costs,
which are totaled up on the "unbilled"
column in the Job Ticket. The "unbilled"
total is updated whenever a job cost is
posted, and should always equal the total
of the unbilled job's costs -- based on
the gross amount, which includes markups
and commissions. If the job summary's "unbilled"
amount seems wrong. Look at the task's "unbilled"
total, then print a job cost report to
see its detail. If the job task's costs
(all unbilled costs added together) don't
equal the "unbilled" total,
then there was probably a posting problem."
Question: What happens to job costs
when they are written off?
Kent says: "The cost's billing status is
changed to "write-off" to indicate
that it is neither unbillable, unbilled,
or on-hold. Write-offs are summarized on
Job Costs reports to
track these unprofitable costs by client."
