Job Costing Benefits

Burden

Get more accurate job costing by accounting for unknown costs, or known costs, that are not represented in your R2 order. These costs can be accounted for by using the new Burden feature. Burden is a percentage of the order’s revenue that is added to the order’s cost. The burden can be determined as a global default for all orders, defaulted by individual customers and edited arbitrarily order-by-order for easier, more accurate job costing.

Order Item Costs

The Cost / Unit is a cost that is multiplied by the duration of the rental line. The Overhead Cost is a one-time cost that is used to account for warehouse, prep, ship and return activities. Each line’s Cost and Overhead Cost can later be modified as suits a given requirement, and reflect in the overall order’s job costing formula. This makes it easy to support different environments where your rental cost may differ for certain items.
