Job stages

Job stages allow you to create stages that can be assigned to jobs for reporting and grouping within reporting.

They are used:

• As a categorisation of the parent (or group) of a Cost centre on a job's Costings tab.
• To set the default values for Bill? on timesheets entries linked to cost centres assigned to the job stage.
• To determine whether or not a cost centre is added by default when a new job is created.

Examples of the job stages on a building project might be:

• Administration
• Design
• Construction
• Finalisation
• Warranty

Features

• An unlimited number of Job stages can be defined in the system.
• There is only one set of job stages across all jobs, unlike cost centres which can be different for every job.
• You don’t have to have different job stages assigned to a job, but there must be at least one job stage to which cost centres on the job are assigned.
• The job stage name can be changed at any time, but this will automatically appear as the new name across every job both past and current.
