The CBSI Job Management module has three primary functions, estimate preparation, job cost accumulation and product scheduling. Since it is interfaced with Inventory, Bill of Material and Standard Product Routing modules, Job Management has all the information necessary to calculate material, setup and running cost of an item for either estimating or creating a job cost budget. It also reserves materials required by a job and relieves inventory as materials are consumed and production is reported.

The CBSI Job Management module is used to: 

• Enter and edit estimates

• Print estimates

• Enter and edit jobs

• Print work sheets and picking lists for jobs

• Enter actual materials consumed, time spent and subcontracted costs into the job cost record

• Compare actual job cost to budget for job
