Job costs are selected by work date (i.e., when
the time was used, the vendor’s invoice date).
This makes it easy to see what you bought and where
you spent your time for a week, month, or any time
period.
The basic job cost report shows each cost’s
reference number (i.e., invoice number, check number,
time ID number), date, vendor or staff member, job
number, task, hours (if it is a time entry), net
cost amount and gross amount.
Since costs are connected to jobs, you can print
cost reports using status codes. You can select
costs by the job’s production status. This
ability lets you see job costs, for example, for
only open jobs. Or, you can print job costs for
closed jobs, jobs on hold, etc. There’s no
limit to how you can print job cost reports.
Job cost reports vs. other cost reports
The job cost report is best for seeing costs
for all jobs for some time period. But there are
other reports that may be more useful in different
situations, for different needs.
 To
see the costs for one job only: Choose View
> Job Tickets then find the job you want. Then
click on the print reports button, select the job
cost report, then click Print. This report prints
all costs, regardless of date, including billing
information.
To
see time in detail by day: Choose Accounting
> Time Sheets then click on the print reports
button. Enter a range of dates, select all or one
staff member, select a report, then click Print.
Time reports show time by day, staff member, job,
task, or client.
To
see time totals: Choose Productivity from
the Snapshots menu; enter a range of work dates;
select a report; then click Print. The productivity
reports summarize time sheets in various ways.
You’ll
see clear, concise totals and not all of the time
detail, making it a very efficient, effective
management report.
