Hello Marty. The company for which this prospective business operations
package is for will be a service type company. The system will need to
keep track of cost billing on a per-job basis. Things like labor expended,
material cost, overheads and fees charged, etc. all need to be stored in a
database and reported in a variety of ways. The system will probably need
some tweeking to customize to our application, but it's all pretty basic
stuff - there shouldn't need to be that much done. The area that will
probably require the most tweeking would be the reports and inquiry options.
The system will probably work something like this: each job will have a
tracking number assigned on initial entry which will then be used to update
the status of that job (labor, material, whatever).
How did the system you wrote work? Do you think it would be suitable for
something like this?
BTW - payroll would most likely not be handled by this system; although, the
labor hours used for billing might somehow be transferred to the payroll
system. I'm not sure.
