Use Jobs to Manage Project Type Jobs and WIP

When running large Projects it's important to know not just the Actual costs and sales that have been invoiced todate but what is left on Order to come in.

Knowing throughout the Project what the Expected Job Profit and Margin is likely to be, once everything is invoiced and all of the costs are in, will allow your Project Managers to make smarter decisions to keep their jobs on track and avoid nasty surprises.
