Job costing is pulled from Field Tickets not invoices.

Job Costing report does not include Clock in/out data.

Job Costing report does include the employer burden found on the employee pay stub.

Employer burden is figured by the percentage against the job hours.

EX: if your employer burden is $100.00 a month and the employee worked 40 hours, the burden is 2.50 per hour.

On a job that was 8 hours the employer burden is $20.00

If you have linked jobs make sure to mark the Report Linked Jobs Together box.

FAQ

My job costing report shows less than the invoiced amount on the field ticket.

Example the job costing for a certain job shows $2000.00 and the invoice on the Field Ticket shows $2500.00.

Job costing factors adjustments out of the amount billed since it’s not real money you could collect and when considering profitability, things you write off should not artificially increase your profit %.

If you look at the ‘payments’ on the invoice there’s probably an ‘adjustment’ for $500.00 which is really a manual surplus credit (basically the same as an adjustment you just created the credit (adjustment) separate from the invoice and then applied, it to the invoice) .
