T+M Job Billing Setup

Use this screen to define specific information for jobs that have been set up in the Job Cost module. Please refer to the Job Cost Help file for complete instructions in setting up a job. Once a job has been set up in Job Cost, you can enter the job number on this screen and add billing information.

For true Time + Material jobs, labor is intended to be billed to customers at a billing rate per hour, rather than actual cost plus a markup.

For jobs flagged as Time + Material in the job master file, payroll burden will not post through to Time + Material. To have payroll burden update to Time + Material, the job can be set up as a cost plus job in this screen. When the job is set up in this way, the payroll burden will be combined with the actual labor cost and updated through to Time + Material. So, burden will not appear as a separate transaction, but it will be included with the actual labor costs.

Important: For Time + Material jobs, in Job Cost > Job Analysis, either Time + Material or Cost Plus must be selected in the Price type section. In addition, if the job was added in the job cost system and one of the price types (Time + Materials or Cost Plus) and a customer code was entered, then the job is automatically set up here.
  • If a non-Time + Material job contains a phase which is to be billed on a Cost Plus or Time + Material basis, set the Price type field in Job Cost > Job Phases to either Time + Material or Cost Plus and add the job to this screen. Only costs for those phases that are set to the Price type of Time + Materials or Cost Plus will be collected in the Time + Material files.
