October 5, 2007, Newsletter Issue #84: Choosing job cost accounting software

Tip of the Week

Job cost accounting software from Blytheco comes in the form of Crystal Reports for MAS 90 and MAS 200 software programs. These programs are part of the job cost accounting software you should use if you want to monitor the cost of your work effectively and accurately. There are four job cost crystal reports to choose from. Which one you use depends upon the nature of the job, what type of analysis you want of the total cost. The job cost code P and L report, for example, shows the budgeted and actual units and dollars for your job by cost code. The report also contains information about type, status, contract number, bill method status date, contract date, the estimator, manager revenue to date, and billed to date. This is probably the most comprehensive option, and only required if the work project is particularly complex in terms of management. Whereas the costs by job number report is more specific to tracking material used in projects and for work orders.
