Setting up time and materials jobs

The following are additional points to consider when setting up T&M jobs:

When you indicate the tax district in 3-5 Jobs, Sage 100 Contractor includes the sales tax on the time and materials bill.
Sage 100 Contractor does not create job costs for payroll until you compute timecards.
If the client requires you to provide source documents and invoices, do not use the hidden markup. Otherwise, the amounts displayed on your time and materials invoices will not match the amounts on the source documents and invoices.
When using a wage rate table, the hidden markup does not apply to labor .
When using an equipment rate table, the hidden markup does not apply to equipment.

To set up a job for time and materials billing:

Open 3-10-1 T&M Billing Setup.

In the data control text box, enter the job number of the job you want to set up.

In the Wage Rate text box, enter the wage rate table you want to use.

In the Equipment Rate text box, enter the equipment rate table you want to use.

In the Hidden column, enter the markup rate that the customer does not see.

Note: T&M hidden markups do not increase the T&M invoice for labor if a wage rate is present.

In the Shown column, enter the markup rate.

In the Overhead column, enter the markup rate for overhead.

In the Profit column, enter the markup rate for profit.

In the Income Account text box, enter the ledger account number.

In the Subaccount text box, enter the subaccount number, as needed.

On the File menu, click Save.
