Cost control is critical in any industry and effective cash management can make a serious difference to the profit on a job. Pegasus CIS Job Costing captures all contract information across every stage of a job and makes it immediately available for analysis. Job Heads Each Job can be divided into an unlimited number of Job Heads, each of which can be linked to nominal accounts for automated journals. Each Job Head will hold separate information on budgets, revenue and costs to date, allowing actual to budget variance analysis and reporting. It is possible to set up original analysis and reporting. |
It is also possible to set up original and revised budgets, and split these across periods. Revenue budgets can also be split across periods for cash flow forecasting. All cost transactions are posted to a Job and a Job Head. Job Heads can represent cost categories such as labour or materials, each with an unlimited number of subheads. Alternatively, Job Heads can be linked to Phases to represent job stages. This flexibility allows costs to be tailored in a way that best suits the needs of your business.
