Jobs

Financial control > Tracking financial information > Jobs

Jobs can be set up to track income and expenses related to specific jobs. This is particularly useful when multiple jobs are performed for a single customer. When you enter a transaction, the appropriate job number can be assigned to each individual amount. This enables you to associate several jobs with the various amounts in a single transaction.

For example, if a purchase includes parts for three customers, you could specify each of the three jobs to which that purchase relates. A profit and loss statement can then be prepared for each job.

Specific job-tracking tasks include:

■	linking jobs to specific customers

■	assigning jobs to individual line items on transactions

To enter job opening balances

If you started using your AccountEdge software while a particular job was in progress, you can create the job and then enter any account activity generated by the job so far in the Job Opening Balances window.

You can enter opening balances only for detail jobs. Header jobs take their balances from the detail jobs below them.
