Once a Work Order is created, the user may preview the “budget” information for both material and labor.

Time card information and kitting forward into Job Costing.  As each component of the Work Order is completed, the Job Costing Module captures the required information.  Please refer to the Time Card and Time & Attendance Management procedures.
