Overview
The Job Costing tab designed to provide a rough understanding of where revenue and expenses for a given job fall. As the name suggests, this is a beta feature, so there may be some unexpected calculation issues.
Revenue
The Revenue column-set deals completely with your income. Planned values come from Quotes and other Budgetary-type Financial Documents; Actual values come from Invoices and other Accounts Receivable-type Financial Documents; Variance is the difference between "current" Planned and Actual values.
Expenses
The Expenses column-set deals with your costs; Planned values still come from Quotes and other Budgetary-type Financial Documents; Actual values come from POs and other Accounts Payable-type Financial Documents; Variance is still the difference between "current" Planned and Actual values.
Profit/Loss
The Profit/Loss column-set combines current Planned Revenue with current Planned Expenses, current Actual Revenue with current Actual Expenses, and the Variance is the difference between those values.
