You can view job usage up to the completion of a project in one step. To do so, you use the Job Calc. Remaining Usage batch job for all the tasks up to and including the end of a job.

This lets you track and compare your original estimates against actual results and make modifications or new entries as needed.

For example, you may have estimated that a job required 10 hours, and to date, it has taken 15 hours. You can add the extra five hours to the existing journal line or create a new journal line to report these five hours as overtime, which is another work type.

The appropriate cost and price are calculated, and you can then post to the journal.

Note
Item entries create item ledger entries and reduce item on stock. The Post Inventory Cost to G/L batch job transfers the cost from inventory to the general ledger. Resource entries create resource ledger entries.
