Job Cost —
Sage MAS 90 & Sage MAS 200
Powerful management reporting, detailed accounting
capabilities, flexibility, and control best describe
the
Job
Cost module for Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 ERP
systems. This module is specifically
developed for general
contractors, subcontractors, architects, and engineers in
construction and
project-oriented industries. In today’s
competitive market, with profit margins getting tighter,
the
Job
Cost module is an essential management tool for
keeping a close eye on job profitability.
Job Cost gives you the ability to track cost and revenue
information down to fine detail for every job
(project).
Powerful sub-modules including Project Estimating, Billing,
and Time and Materials Invoicing
are built in to streamline
the entire process. Know where your bid proposals and
projects stand with
up-to-the-minute status reports.
With Sage Timberline Office Estimating, you can calculate estimated costs in |
 |
preparation for a proposal. Maintain a
custom database or choose from selected
industry databases of standard
material and labor costs upon which you can base estimates. After a proposal is accepted, you can
easily transfer estimate information to establish budgets for the new job. Once in progress, analyze
actual to budget costs, allowing adjustments to maintain profitability throughout the job. Whether
you invoice on a completed contract or a percentage of completion, Job Cost will handle all billing
requirements.
The Job Cost module can integrate with Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Payroll, TimeCard,
Inventory Management, Sales Order, Purchase Order, and General Ledger to ensure your ability to
share common information required in an efficient job cost system. And adding Business Alerts can
keep your staff on top of daily changes in the business. Controlling costs is key to success. Don’t start
a job without Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Job Cost. |

Features: |
|
Flexible Job Numbering—Up to seven characters may be used to designate a job. Large jobs may be broken into “sub-jobs.” |
|
Flexible Cost Codes—Phases, steps, or other categories may be designated using up to nine characters in three segments. |
|
Flexible Cost Types—Each cost code may be detailed with up to 12 user-defined cost types, such as labor, overhead, materials, and more. |
|
Overhead and
Burden Allocation—Overhead costs are automatically allocated to the job based upon the percentage of work in process. Overhead may be applied on a
daily or monthly basis. Burden allocation is the indirect cost associated with labor expenses (for example, union contributions or
employer’s tax), which are difficult to allocate to a specific job. Burden is calculated as a percentage of direct wages or on a cost-perhour
basis. |
|
Work-in-Process Accounting—Use when all expenses related to jobs still in progress are posted to a work-in-process asset account in the General Ledger module. When
a job is completed, the total unbilled cost for the job is relieved from work-in-process and posted to the cost-of-goods-sold account. |
|
Percentage Completion or
Completed Contract—Either of these accounting methods may be used for each job. Percentage completion will recognize the revenue and cost of sale at the
time a job is billed. With a completed contract, the revenue and cost of sales are not recognized until the job has been completed. |
|
Time and Materials
Invoices—Invoices may be printed with cost detail information on standard or user-defined custom invoice forms. Billing amounts may be based
upon the price per unit or the markup over cost. Invoices may be printed in batch form or individually. Invoices for fixed contract jobs
may also be printed. |
|
Sage Timberline Office
Estimating for Proposals
and Bids—Estimate information may be entered for bids using information from custom and industry-specific databases. You may establish
templates to use for new estimates. When a contract has been accepted, the estimate information may be transferred to the new job to
establish budgets. Estimates may be printed in detail or summary form. |
|
Contract and
Subcontract History—Contract information is retained to show the original contract amounts and any change orders. Change orders may also be tracked for
each subcontract established for a job. |
|
Job Transaction
Detail Report—Transaction detail is provided for all postings for each job. The detail information may be retained for the life of the job or summarized
on a monthly basis. |
|
Subcontractor Analysis Report—Contract and cost detail is printed by vendor. A detailed transaction history of cost postings (by invoice number) and payments (by check
number) may also be included. Lien amounts and release dates may be traced for each subcontractor. |
|
Accounts Receivable Integration—Invoices may be entered, printed, and updated to Accounts Receivable. Retention may be tracked for each customer. |
|
Accounts Payable and Purchase
Order Integration—Invoices may be expensed directly to jobs. Retention may be tracked for each vendor. Job cost information may be entered for open
purchase orders. Receipt of goods and invoices allow for direct entry of job numbers and cost codes. |
|
Payroll and
TimeCard Integration—Wages may be expensed directly to jobs. Labor expenses may be posted in detail by employee or summarized by pay period. Burden may
be calculated and applied to labor costs. When the TimeCard module is used, labor may be posted daily to Job Cost and weekly to
Payroll. TimeCard also prints a Certified Payroll report. |
|
Inventory Management
Integration—Direct costs associated with materials allocated to a job may be posted directly for any issue transactions entered through transaction
entry. |
|
Sales Order Integration—Sales order invoices may be assigned to existing or new jobs by cost code and cost classification. New jobs can be created on the fly
using defined job types. |
