  GP Job Costing feature for Service ompanies Reply Contact I am currently implementing GP Financials for a client in the Shipping industry, they require a job costing feature/module for service industry. Can anyone advise whether GP has this capability?   They need to assign Job numbers to AR and AP transactions and then quickly generate a profitability report by each job. (They have hundreds of Jobs in each month). And this feature is available to them in the current system, Peachtree.   Initially I had suggested they could use Analytical Accounting. They found that setting up codes in AA is a bit cumbersome but can be workable. However, AA can give a report listing all transactions for each job but not a profit figure…… this would have to be calculated manually.   Any advise would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks

  Re: GP Job Costing feature for Service ompanies Reply Contact Hi, GP Project accounting enables projects/jobs to be assigned to all AP & AR transactions allowing for simple profitability and revenue recognition to be performed. All transactions are routed through Project Accounting and linked to AP/AR modules so analysis can be done either via ledgers or by individual project. Project Accounting is a larger module and takes quite some time to setup but for simple job costing use should be straight-forward enough. I installed full GP including project 9 months ago into a service/manufacturing corporation and it does a great job for us. Profitability reports are already in-built but SQL or smartlist reports provide greater flexibility. Regards, Chris.
