This allows you to see how the Job is going and if you are making a profit. You can also set up Budgets for each Job to monitor over-runs or any unexpected expenses that may occur. Budgets are very handy for seeing how well or how well not, the Job is doing & gives you solid information for quoting or budgeting in the future.In the Command Centre, click on Lists at the top on the window – Jobs – New. In this window, the following options are displayed to enable you to enter a new Job. A Header Job would be used if you had several Jobs under one main Job. Fox example, a Construction Company is building several apartments on one site but they want to record the transactions for each apartment separately.
