Cost a Job

Costed is the final status of a Job in iCFM. The process of Costing a Job is essentially confirming that all the details, Services, Actual hours, and costs of a Job are correct and final. It is important that all the details are checked carefully, as once a Job is costed, it is considered finalised and ready for Invoicing.

You can only cost a Job that has a status of Completed. A Job will be Completed either after the Artist enters their Actuals via the Artist Portal, or a Producer has entered the hours themselves. You can see all Completed Jobs on the Project Summary

You cannot Cost Jobs with 0 Actual hours, as this would mean that the Job didn't take place. Either there is either nothing to Cost, or a mistake has been made that needs correcting. To rectify this:

1. Set the Job Status back to Confirmed (the Job will appear in the Artist Portal again)
2. Either Cancel the Job or get the Artist to enter their hours correctly
3. Follow the steps to Cost the Job

To Cost a Job:

1. Click on the ID of the Job you want to Cost (the Job must have the status of Completed)
2. Carefully review all the details of the Job & the Artists Actual hours
3. In the Billing tab, review all Costs associated with the Job
4. If any recently added Costs or Services are not showing, Click the Re-Cost the Job button (Optional)
   
5. Set the Job status to Costed using the Coins icon next to the status bar

Please Note: The Costed Job can now be allocated to an Invoice on the Project Billing tab, so the details of a Job can no longer be amended.
