Contractor job costing - estimates or sales orders - no inventory

Hi, tlmckesson!

Job Costing works like this:  Start each job with an Estimate. Open the Estimate, and there's an Invoice button at the top of the Estimate window with drop-down choices of PO, Sales Order and Invoice. You could order the job materials from the PO's here.  You would Enter Bills, making sure that when entering you select the appropriate job in the bottom section of the window and even set up Classes for jobs (New Construction, Remodel, etc). Then, from your Estimate, create an Invoice; you have an option (if you have set it up correctly) to Invoice jobs using billable time/hours from employees and subcontractors, materials purchased (entered bills) and mileage expenses. You can pick and choose what and how much is Invoiced to your Customer.

Hope this helps!
