Item/Job Group Prices, Job Group/Item Prices - Job Group/Item Prices

This page describes the Job Group/Item Prices setting in the Job Costing module. This setting allows you to list the types of work together with charge-out rates that can be carried out by each Job Group. A Job Group is a group of employees whose work will be charged out at the same rate.

The Job Group/Item Prices setting is in the Job Costing module. To work with this setting, ensure you are in this module and open the 'Settings' list by clicking (Windows/macOS) or tapping (iOS/Android) the [Settings] button in the Navigation Centre. Double-click or tap 'Job Group/Item Prices' in the resulting list. The 'Job Group/Item Prices: Browse' window will be opened, listing the Job Groups with existing pricing structures. To enter a new record, select 'New' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or + menu (iOS/Android). The 'Job Group/Item Price: New' window will appear: enter the details as appropriate and click [Save] (Windows/macOS) or tap √ (iOS/Android) to save the new record.

Enter the Job Group whose pricing structure is being defined, using 'Paste Special' if necessary. The Name of the Job Group will be placed in the field to the right when you press Return. You can only enter one record for a particular Job Group.

Use the grid to list the various Items (i.e. types or work) offered by the Job Group. These should be Plain Items (a purchase or material) or Service Items (time). The columns represent Price Lists. You should define Price Lists numbered 1 to 6 in the Price List register in the Pricing module and then allocate them to each Customer individually or via Customer Categories.

For example, referring to the illustration above, Customers with Price List 2 will be charged 50.00 per hour for Item T003 and 100.00 per hour for Item T004 when the work is carried out by a member of the JUN Job Group.

The Price List 1 column will be used for Customers with no Price List or Category, those whose Category has no Price List and those whose Price List is not numbered 1 to 6.

All prices should be in your home Currency. These prices will be converted to the Currency of the Project when necessary.

Use the Time Class column if you have different charge out rates for various kinds of work (e.g. standard rate, evening rate, etc.) and are managing them using Time Classes. As shown in the illustration below, for each Item you should enter separate rows with each Time Class. When you enter a Time Sheet and specify a Time Class on flip C, the price in the resulting Project Transaction(s) will be taken from the Job Group/Item Price row for the Item/Time Class combination. It is usually recommended that you include rows in which the Time Class is blank, to be used if the Person filling in a Time Sheet or Activity forgets to specify a Time Class.
