Overview:

Job Outputs are used for Output Based billing and can be combined with Input Based billing to form Input and Output Based invoices.

The main difference between Outputs and Inputs is that Inputs are existing transactions in the system (time, allowances, purchases, etc.) whereas Outputs are set up in Output Schedules as a predetermined list of items that can be billed. In this way, Outputs are best used in situations where there is an agreed list of chargeable items, actions, or creations but not necessarily a set limit or expected amount of those items. If the total schedule quantity is known from the start of the project, a Claim Schedule may be more appropriate.

Common outputs include: haulage of materials, ad hoc services from tradespeople, crew actions or outcomes, etc.

Screen Guide:

Open

This screen lists existing outputs, and the filter by default limits it to uninvoiced items, but this can be modified to show historical information. Outputs can be modified directly from here without having to find the original output which is useful for managing large amounts of outputs. Certain fields cannot be edited as they are derived from the Output Schedule from which the line was created. Remember to Save any changes you make to the list.

Next Steps:

You can create New Outputs using the button, which will take you to the Job Outputs Entry screen.

To invoice outputs, see Output Based or Input and Output Based billing.
