JC-B  Print Profit Projection

Purpose of Program

Use this report to obtain a profit projection at any point during the course of a work order.

The report format is very similar to the Job Cost report in JC-A  Print Job Cost Report.  Like the Job Cost report, the Profit Projection report may be run in summary only format or in a detail and summary format.  However, this report is more meaningful midway through a work order while JC-A  Print Job Cost Report is better after the work order has been completed.

The system maintains a percent of completion calculation at all times on each labor operation and bill of material component.  The actual costs for each operation and component reported to date are divided by the percent completion to yield projected total costs.  All projected costs are added together to yield a total projected cost and profit for the work order.

General Program Operation

The Profit Projection report can be limited to a range of work orders, work order status codes (S=Scheduled, F=Firmed, R=Released, C=Closed), customer codes, and job numbers.  Lookups (via the F2 key or the Lookup button) are available for work order numbers and customer codes.

If you want to consolidate several work orders' costs into one report, answer Y to the Print Composite Report? prompt.  The header section of the report will be that of the first work order selected, and the composite report will not include the detail section.  The costs of all work orders selected will be merged into one set of summary costs.  The price used in the profit calculation will be that of the first work order selected.

Next you can indicate whether you want just a summary report or a full report with detail and summary.
