Job Enhanced Overhead

Job Enhanced Overhead

Objective:
This optional Granule is designed to make automatic Job Ledger Entries for “Overhead” that is pre-assigned to Items, Resources, or General Ledger Accounts.

Here is the definition from Dictionary.com –noun
1. the general, fixed cost of running a business, as rent, lighting, and heating expenses, which cannot be charged or attributed to a specific product or part of the work operation.
2. Accounting. That part of manufacturing costs for which cost per unit produced is not readily assignable.

Results of using this granule with Jobs:
In the normal processing of expenses you receive payable invoices for expenses that are not Job specific costs.  You process them without job numbers.   However, you wish to post some additional costs to jobs that that simulates the overhead cost based on some formulas.   Typical examples of overhead formulas are a percentage of the other actual labor and material costs.

As you post “Actual Cost” in or through the Job Journal, Purchase Order, Purchase Invoice, and Time journal the Overhead Granule will add an additional “overhead” cost entry based on the pre-defined and desired additional Percentage or Fixed Amount in the setup of the Overhead Rate Tables.

We support:
1. Manually Entered Costs in the Job Journal. (i.e.: Labor, Materials, or GL Amounts)
2. Purchase Order Cost that flow through the Job Journal to the Job Ledger Entries
3. Purchase Invoice Costs that flow through the Job Journal to the Job Ledger Entries.
4. Time Journal Entries from the Payroll Add-on that flow through the Job Journal.
5. Estimating the overhead per task or per job during the estimate process.
