Job costing turns completed work into useful pricing data. Record expected and actual costs, then investigate meaningful differences.
| Field | Record |
|---|---|
| Revenue | Final selling price invoiced or collected. |
| Estimated labor | Expected productive hours and labor cost. |
| Actual labor | Actual hours and applicable labor cost. |
| Estimated materials | Expected equipment, parts and consumables. |
| Actual materials | Final material/equipment cost. |
| Variance | Difference and reason where known. |
Use the pattern: repeated variances are more useful than one unusual job. Use patterns to improve estimating, purchasing, scheduling and your price book.
Practical Next Steps
Keep your information current, document assumptions, compare estimates with actual results, and update the process when costs or workflows change.
