Work Order Financial Summary

Use the Work Order Financial Summary screen to view invoice financial information for a specific work order. To access this screen, select Work Order Info Bar > Financials > Summary.

  • For 'job' work orders, invoice totals to be paid by the customer and profitability amounts will display on this tab. Billing and cost values and the listbox showing billing records will not be shown for 'job' work orders.

  • For 'site' work orders this tab will show both unbilled and billing history, plus amounts available for billing. The top half of this tab will display view-only billing, revenue and profitability amounts. This section will not display cost information if the operator's 'WO security' level is lower than the level assigned to 'Labor Hours - Cost History tab'. The lower-half of this tab will display a listbox of billings-to-date, sorted by bill # in reverse order, so the most recent bill will show at the top of the list. The first columns of the listbox (Bill #, Customer, Invoice # and Type) are from the Billing History Table, and the remaining columns will show information from the associated records in A/R.

  • When you are finished reviewing the financial summary and want to create the Accounts Receivable invoice, click the Bill Now button at the top of the screen.

Note: You can quickly navigate between Work Order screens via the Info Bar links, or use the hot-key equivalents on the command bar.

Billings and cost

Unselected

This row will summarize transactions entered in Purchase Order Entry or Pre-Time Card Entry, but have not yet been selected for billing. It will also include transactions stored in the Work Order Cost History Table added during the A/P invoice Update, the Payroll Update or the G/L Journal Entry Update that have not yet been selected for billing. Unbilled time card entries, unapproved A/P invoices and unposted A/P invoices that are flagged as 'Available for billing' will also be included.

Current billing

This row will summarize transactions currently recorded in the Labor Hours Entry, Material Entry, Other Charges Entry and the Task tab of Work Order Entry. These transactions represent the amount that will update to A/R when the Create A/R Invoice update is performed.

In the Tax column, the Current billing total is the tax calculation for transaction records that have not yet been invoiced.

Total unbilled

This row is the summary of the Unselected and Current billing rows.

Billed-to-date

This row will summarize the total invoices-to-date on the work order.

In the Tax column, the Billed-to-date total is the sum of all tax amounts for credit memos.

Total sale

This row is the sum of the Total unbilled and Billed-to-date rows.

Standard Cost

Click this button to open the Standard Cost Inquiry screen to view profitability figures.

Estimated cost

This row will summarize the cost of open purchase orders written for a specific work order and all material entered via the Material Entry and New Material Entry screens. These costs are separated from the unposted costs, because it is unreasonable for these costs to change by the time the actual costs are booked.

The open purchase order cost basis will be calculated as the sum of the outstanding balance due all open P.O. detail lines referencing the current work order. The cost basis will exclude any closed purchase orders, or purchase orders where the quantity received is equal to or greater than the quantity ordered. Use tax will be added if the purchase order detail line or A/P invoice detail line references a use tax code.

The entered material calculations cost basis will be calculated as the cost of all applicable material billing transaction entries referencing an inventory item using standard cost. The cost basis will exclude material entries that have already been invoiced, and material entries originally created by selecting from purchase orders or cost history. For material items subject to use tax, include the cost of use tax based on the estimated cost amount.

Unposted cost

This row will summarize costs for transactions (excluding estimated costs) that have been entered but not yet updated to General Ledger and Work Order Cost modules.
  • The Labor amount will include the cost basis of entered labor billing transactions and pre-time card transactions. The labor cost basis will be calculated by including the cost of certain unbilled work order labor transactions currently present in Labor Hours Entry, excluding labor that has already been invoiced and labor entries originally created by selecting from Pre-Time Card Entry or Cost History. Otherwise, the labor cost basis with burden will be calculated either by summing estimated pay extension plus burden from setup in Technician File Maintenance and other Work Order Maintenance screens, or from Work Order Installation setup:
    • Standard Cost: When the percentage is set to 0.00 (or blank) for 'Unposted time card burden percent' or 'Payroll burden percent', the burden calculation for unposted cost calculation will be determined based on either hourly or percent settings in Work Order > Technician Maintenance.
    • Actual Cost: When the percentage is set to non-zero, the burden calculation will use the installation percentage.
    • If the 'Payroll overhead' option is selected for the work order, unposted costs from Pre-Time Card Entry will be calculated and then increased by the specified overhead percentage or rate/hour amount.
  • The Material amount will include material costs from Accounts PayableInvoice Approval and unposted transactions in AP Invoice/Credit Memo Entry. For material items subject to use tax, include the cost of use tax based on the unposted cost amount.
  • The Other amount will use the cost basis currently stored in the unbilled transaction by summing the cost of all applicable other charge billing transaction entries with a Source = Entry, excluding other charges that have already been invoiced and other charge entries originally created by selecting from cost history. The labor cost basis is comprised of two amounts: labor cost extension and burden. The burden calculation will vary depending upon whether the option selected on the Work Order Installation > Labor tab:
    • Standard Cost: When the percentage is set to 0.00 (or blank) for 'Unposted time card burden percent' or 'Payroll burden percent', the burden calculation for unposted cost calculation will be determined based on either hourly or percent settings in Work Order > Technician Maintenance.
    • Actual Cost: When the percentage is set to non-zero, the burden calculation will use the installation percentage.
  • The Total amount will include additional unposted amounts added to Unposted labor cost, Unposted material cost and Unposted other charge cost.

Actual cost

This row will summarize "accounting costs" that have been entered and posted to direct work order cost General Ledger codes. For material items subject to use tax, include the cost of use tax based on the posted cost amount.

The Net profit total is the difference between Total sale and Actual cost. The associated percentage is calculated as [Total sale - Actual cost] divided by Total sale times 100.

Total cost

This row is the sum of the Unposted cost and Actual cost.
  • The Labor amount will include additional unposted amounts added to Unposted labor cost. If labor costs from Labor Hours Entry were not included in the unposted labor cost amount, they will not be included in this amount either.
  • The Material amount will include Estimated material cost. If material costs from Purchase Order Entry and Material Entry were not included in the estimated material cost, they will not be included here either.
  • The Other amount will include additional unposted amounts added for Unposted other charge cost.
  • The Total cost amount will include additional estimated material cost and unposted amounts conditionally added to Unposted labor cost and Unposted other charge cost in the calculations.
  • The Net profit amount will include additional estimated material cost and unposted amounts conditionally added to unposted labor cost and unposted other charge cost. The profit calculation is the difference between Total sale and Total cost. The associated percentage is computed as [Total sale - total cost] divided by Total sale times 100.
