This method reduces errors, simplifies troubleshooting, and creates a clear audit trail. It’s the recommended approach for maintaining consistency, accountability, and professional standards across every job.

As shown below the main things you will be looking at is the following 

Available Stock Qty	Shows you all available stock
Budget Qty	This is what was Quoted
Actual Qty	This is how many have been used
Balance Qty	This is how many you have left to use from your Quote amount
Usage	This is an open field where you will put in the quantity being used

Adding a New Line to a Job

To add a new item to a job, you have three options:

1. Scope Creep – This can be added manually and will be charged to the customer. It’s recorded as a cost to company and included in the overall job cost.
2. Cost to Company – Also added manually, this option absorbs the cost internally without charging the customer. It’s useful for goodwill gestures or internal adjustments.
3. Quote – If the customer has accepted a quote for the additional work, it follows the same process as the initial quote but is linked to the existing job rather than creating a new one.

See below where you will find these options.

The screen to add Scope Creep or Cost to Company looks the same and essentially works the same.

• Click on Scope Creep or Cost to Company

• Select your Item from the dropdown menu
• Add your Quantity
• Click Save & Close

To add a new line to the job from Quote:

• Click on Quote

Creating a quote from within a Job similarly to starting one via Job Costing > Activity > Quote in the main menu. However, because it originates from a job, it will automatically be linked to that job. This connection is visible in the Extras tab.

Quotes created this way will also include a “.1” suffix after the original quote number, this indicates that the quote is an extension or variation of the original, tied directly to the job.

If you create a quote from the main menu instead, it will generate a new quote number. You can still manually link it to a job by entering the job number, but creating it from within the job acts as a convenient shortcut.

Once

customer

Unmanageapproval is received and the quote is approved to the job, the corresponding line will be added to the job record. The quote number will appear with a “.1” suffix appended to the original quote number, this provides a quick visual cue that the item represents additional work beyond the original quote.
