Job Costing


The Job Costing module in Jiwa is used to manage jobs and projects from setup through to budgeting, costing, invoicing, and profitability review.

In this section, we cover the key Job Costing processes in Jiwa, including creating jobs, adding budgets and estimates, using template jobs, recording job costs, invoicing jobs, issuing job credit notes, creating finished goods, and managing cost recoveries.

Job Costing is suited to businesses that need to track detailed costs and charges against individual jobs or projects. Costs can be recorded from different areas of Jiwa, including cost entry, timesheets, cash book payments, creditor purchases, purchase orders, goods received notes, and estimates.

This section is intended to help users understand how jobs are created, costed, billed, and reviewed in Jiwa so that job progress, work in progress, actual costs, budgets, recoveries, and profitability can be managed accurately.
