Job Cost Accounting Software
Reviews and Ratings

Job Cost modules are usually found as part of larger business accounting software packages. A job costing module tracks in detail billings associated with each Job. A job costing module can interact with Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Invoicing, Inventory Control, Payroll, Purchase Order and Estimating.

This module should be able to set up individual records for each job, and be able to set up multiple transactions for each job. Transactions should be able to be broken down by job phase. Job costing should be able to track both the dollar and time (hour) amounts associated with each job and job phase. Job costing should be able to be both queried and reported by different sorting and selection criteria.  

A job cost module helps the user keep close tabs on job profitability. A good job cost module will often have sub-modules like Billing, Estimating, and Time and Materials.  A job cost module should be able to be integrated with General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Purchase Order, and Inventory Control  modules among others.
