I have recently started at a new company and I am trying to improve the speed and ease we can do analysis on costs based on numerous variances. The company produces different items for different clients for different projects with different elements (i.e. selling on goods, manufacture of goods, supply and fit of goods). At present they have all of the clients jobs listed under 'contracts', but I am wondering whether there may be a benefit of putting these as Jobs?

BUT I don't know in which instances you would use both options as I haven't got any experience at contracts.

Thanks

Or do you by contracts mean service contracts?

Service contracts are typically used where you have recurring service work or repair work done for specific service items.

Jobs are more one time deliverables for a customer where you might combine items, resources and other cost element in one combined delivery.

So 'Contracts' is not a term in Business Central...do you have an add-on product?
