InterAcct Job Costing for Odoo
InterAcct Software for many years has been known for it’s Job Costing features. So it was only natural to develop a Job Costing Module for Odoo.
We have connected to all the existing Modules in Odoo we can, and developed new tables which make Odoo more inline with what you might expect from a Job Costing Module.
This is great for all types of industries which want to start from a estimate, convert to budget and then track against actuals to see any variances.
Odoo is a great tool for your business, but with the Job Costing Module by InterAcct it really brings all the analysis to life.
Sub Jobs (Phases)
Own feature of the Job Costing which is important is the Sub Jobs (Phases).
This allows you to connect and structure many Jobs to a Master Job, and with Odoo you can create mutliple levels to this structure which makes it easy to drill down to whatever level of detail you need to get the analysis.
For example you might have a Job which is the overall house, then you might have your Sub Jobs being the phases of work. Demolition, Site Preperation, Foundations, Level 1, Level 2, Roofing, Electricials, Plumbing etc.
3 Quotation Formats
Some customers require very detailed quotes down to each item of the quote, and others want just a grand total and don’t need the detail.
This might also relate to the size of the job. For a simple job it is not worth your time to breakdown the detail.
So we have 3 formats. Itemised (Full Details), Detailed (Summaried to Cost Groups) and Summary (Just a total)
Multiple Estimates per Job
When a customer asks for work to be done, they normally have a pretty good idea of what they want, but quite often you might suggest an additional cost which you recommend to the customer.
Rather than overwriting the original estimate we can store multiple estimates for one Job.
When quoting on the job we have the flexibility to select which ever estimates you want.
Cost Groups
When creating a estimate it is useful to know the costs and expected sell price for all the items you attach to the estimate.
So it is also useful to have these costs summarised by Cost Groups.
Our standard costs groups are Materials, Labour, Sub Contractors, Machine Costs, Hire & Sundry.
We can have more cost groups setup but these are our core ones.
