This Solution provides detail analysis of direct labor, expenses and overheads on any type of “Job” you need to track.
The overhead structure is very user-definable. Various types and levels of overheads can be established using any basis desired.
Information is obtained via integration with other CSS solutions, which eliminates duplication of effort and ensuring accuracy.
The basic structure is divided into four main areas: direct Payroll, direct Costs, overhead, and Billing.
Each job or project can be subdivided into Phases. Each Job or Phase has its own start and completion dates, including the detailed information.
The solution uses the “Cost Center” concept of accounting. Single or multiple ledger accounts can be assigned to a specific cost center. This greatly simplifies the reporting aspect of the system.
