When you double-click 'Item/Job Group Prices' in the 'Settings' list in the Job Costing module, the 'Item/Job Group Prices: Browse' window opens, listing the Items for which pricing structures have already been entered. To enter a new record, click the [New] button in the Button Bar. The 'Item/Job Group Price: New' window appears: enter the details as appropriate and click [Save] to save the new record.

Enter the Item Number for the Item whose pricing structure is being defined, using 'Paste Special' if necessary. The Item must be a Plain Item (a purchase or material) or a Service Item (time). The Item's Name will be entered in the field to the right when you press Return. You can only enter one record for a particular Item.

The grid allows you to set different prices for the Item, for different Job Groups. 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 14.00 per hour for work carried out by members of the "JUN" Job Group and 28.00 per hour for work carried out by members of the "SEN" 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.

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 Job Group 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 Item/Job Group Price row for the Job Group/Time Class combination.
