How to set up job profitability (labour cost, transport, materials, overhead). Open Job profitability → Settings (Administrators and Accounts staff).
The steps, written out
- Default labour cost per hour: used only for people with no cost rate and no pay rate (those hours are labelled estimated). Optionally give crews and people their own Cost per hour under Labour cost rates.
- Transport cost basis: per trip, per mile or km, or per hour on the road, with a Default transport rate. A truck can have its own rate under Trucks.
- Material costs: set what items cost you; empty means the catalogue replacement cost, shown as estimated.
- Optional: Overhead added to direct costs (%), the Overtime multiplier, Timesheet hours that count (approved only, or all except rejected), Quote used as the baseline, Flag margins below (%) and Allow a category to run over its quote by (%).
Tip
Rates are never deleted; clearing a rate stores zero.
