•Analysis Reports
Eleven job cost analysis reports are produced by the accounting system. These reports use the data supplied by Payroll, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Purchase Order, and Accounts Receivable to produce accurate cost and quantity figures for each cost code on each job. Costs are analyzed with respect to quantity used and percent complete. Cost projections are calculated. These help management spot potential cost overruns and other problems. The eleven report formats available are: Complete, Costs vs. Budget, Job Manager, Purchase Order Review, Budget Revision Worksheet, Job Position,Comparison, Estimated vs. Actual, Paid vs. Unpaid Invoices, Cost vs. Revenue, and Analysis with Summary.
•Job Cost Summary Reports
Cost Type, Job Billing, Income, Job Cost vs. Billing, and Comprehensive summaries may be produced. They may be either printed or viewed on-screen. The first three reports print one line per job. The cost report shows total labor, material, subcontract, equipment and general expenses for the job. The income report shows the original and current contract, total billings, retention, receipts and the unbilled portion of the current contract for each job.
•Job Cost Detail Listing
This program prints a list of all transactions made to cost codes or jobs. It may be printed or viewed on screen.
•Change Order Listing

•Financial Status / Bonding Reports
This program performs two separate functions. It allows the contract price and amount billed-to-date to be manually updated. These figures are critical to the bonding report and are not automatically maintained by the system if the Accounts Receivable or Change Order modules are not being used. The Bonding Report is also known as the Financial Status Report.
•Unit Price Report
This report is also referred to as the Productivity Report. It is an analysis of labor with respect to material.

•Job Totals by Classification
This report is used to run Job Cost totals by User-Defined Classifications.
•Cost Code Listing
This program is used to print a list of the codes in the Cost Code Dictionary.. The dictionary of codes is a useful reference when working with other modules in the system.
•Equipment Usage by Job
This report lists equipment usage that has been charged to jobs in detail or summary for a user-defined range of dates or fiscal periods.
•Universal Job Reports

This program allows jobs to be set up in the system. This includes entering the cost codes and budget information for each cost code on a job. Separate options allow jobs to be duplicated or deleted. Change orders are entered through this option. This program allows entry of information specific to a particular job. This information includes job name and address, project supervisor’s name, contract amounts, total billings and receipts, architect information, financing institution and loan information, square footages, a table of certified payroll crafts, associated wage rates and fringe benefit packages. Using this program, phases to be used by the Contractor Draw and Auto-Job Billing options in Accounts Receivable can be defined. Changes to the job budget are entered through this program and update all Job Cost reports.
After a job is completed, it should be closed. This option is used to flag the jobs as "closed" and to make the necessary transactions in the General Ledger.
This program sets up a dictionary of cost codes. These codes are stored in the Codes File. The Codes File is the pool of codes from which the various budget items on each job are selected.
This program produces Field Report forms. Field Reports are forms that are given to job supervisors to get an estimate of the current job status. This program also allows the entry of the job supervisor's revised estimate into the system.
This program allows the user to track different aspects of a Job on an event driven calendar. Events are placed in order and the time needed to perform these tasks is tracked. The Critical Path is the path that will take the most amount of time. By showing which phases take the longest time, other smaller phases may be completed while these Critical Path events are still underway.
