05 — Live Job Costing
Active Job Spend
Every job carries its own running total the moment an invoice is approved. Actual spend, this month against last, and a month-by-month picture of where the money went, with no waiting for month-end close.
- Actual spend is the approved line-item sum, pre-tax, so the job page and the invoices page always agree.
- Spend by month and by cost code sit on the same page, so a spike shows both when it happened and what it was.
- Every job page links straight to its invoices and daily reports, so any number can be traced back to the document behind it.
