On selecting Job Variance Reports from the menu, you are initially presented with a list of Jobs. You can filter the jobs by Job Status and Search criteria.
Select a Job from the list above to see the Job Variance Report for that job.
Example:
The price related components in the report are:
Products, Labour, Other Items and Pre-builds
Company pricing defaults, whether Mark-up or Margins
Gross and Net calculations, P/L and Margin %
Invoice Value and Percentage
Expenses not invoiced e.g Fuel (show as Net deductions)
The two main columns, Estimate and Actual are described below:
Estimate (Job status set In-Progress)
As soon as the Job status changes from draft to ‘In-Progress’ all values of price related components across Products, Labour, Other Items and Pre-builds in the Job, show up in both the Estimate and Actual columns (initially the values will be the same as changes in the Job have not been made yet)
Actual (Job status can be In-Progress all the way to Job Done/Invoiced)
As the Job progresses, and say, additional Products, Labour, Other Items or Pre-builds are added, new totals will show up in the Actual column, and then one can compare these values against the initial Estimate column, hence a variance report.
Expand Rows (via drop down arrows):
Within the Job Variance Report, each of the top four rows relating to Products, Labour, Other Items and Pre-builds, can be expanded by clicking on the drop down arrow. This then shows a full breakdown of items within the Job for that component.
