A job cost estimate may be printed even if all of the order lines have not been assigned.
Miscellaneous Extra Cost
This field allows for posting any labor overhead for a particular job that adds to the total cost but that will not be paid to the Provider and has not been included in his bill. For example, if Providers are paid hourly or if they use company equipment, you may want to pro-rate the use of a truck, gasoline, etc. and assign a portion of that expense to each job. This cost is not connected to any other numbers or data on the customer order, including the gross profit% on the order.
- If the order is job costed with a miscellaneous extra cost and then un-job cost the order, the miscellaneous extra cost is not recorded and you will need to re-enter it again when re-job costing.
For a charge that you want to affect the customer order gross profit %, add a Provider record and mark it “do not pay”.
Commission Base Reductions
When a customer uses a credit card, this option allows readjusting the salesman commission base to allow for any credit card fees.
Overhead Margin Percent
A Standard Overhead Margin can be applied to all orders as set in Utilities>System Options>System Wide>Order Entry> Standard Overhead Margin Set Up. This number can be edited during the job cost processes.
This number affects the profit percent of the job but is not posted to the general ledger at all; this is used for job costing purposes only. Companies will use an overhead margin to charge against each job for utilities expense, rent expense, etc. This is so that the salespeople share in the day-to-day expenses of running the store. Overhead margin only affects the salesperson commissions.
