This Help Article covers:
General/Overview:
A Job's Profit & Loss is viewed from the Job Window's More/Reports Top Tab's > Profit & Loss Expandable.
The Profit & Loss Expandable displays either Three, OR Four Sub-Expandables:
Three - Charge Up Jobs, or
Four - Quoted and Estimated Jobs
⚠️ NOTE: To View a Quoted, or Estimated Job's P&L (four Sub-Expandables), the Quote or Estimate must have been [Accepted]. I.E. Until a Quote or Estimate is Accepted, the P&L view is the view of a Charge Up Job (three Sub-Expandables).
⚠️ NOTE: A Quoted or Estimated Job's Profit & Loss Expandable's forth Sub-Expandable, "Quotes", displays a list of the Accepted Quote and any Accepted Variations that are included in the P&L Report.
💡 TIP: Although an Estimated Job displays the P&L like a Quoted Job, the Invoicing of an Estimated Job is done using Charge Up Invoices, not Progress Claims like a Quote.
The Profit & Loss's "Summary" Sub-Expandable displays the Total values of Products grouped by their Top Level Product Category, I.E. a Line for Ad-Hoc, Labour, Materials and/or Other. If there are no Products for a Top Level Product Category, that Line does not display.
