Need to know

A ‘job’ represents a work/task/project you are performing for a Customer.

Sales Quotes will typically be issued for the stages of the Job.

Various activities are part of a Job:

  • Workers can book time to the Job.

  • You can issue Invoices from the Job.

  • You can make purchases and associate them with the Job.

  • You can allow Workers to book various expenses to the Job.

  • You can issue further quotations for the Job.

The Job Document is a single repository for all of the above.

Advantages of using Jobs for your Customer related tasks:

  • Purchases and expenses booked to the Job can be seen in one place - the Job's Booked Items table.

  • See what has been invoiced and what has not.

  • Easily Invoice/Quote from the non-invoiced Line Items.

  • List all Transactional Documents associated with the Job, such as overdue and open invoices.

  • Instantly report on the Jobs’ Profitability, Progress, and Estimates vs Actuals figures.

To work with Jobs you need to enable the Job column on Transactional Documents.

How to create a Quote for a Job

A Quote can be created for a Job in two ways:

From the Job

  • Select the Line Items you wish to Quote by selecting the tickbox.

  • Click on 'Create Sales Quote' from the Actions drop-down menu.

  • From the Actions drop-down menu click on 'Create Sales Invoice'.

  • A new Sales Invoice containing the selected Line Items will be created.

Tracking the Invoiced Line Items
