Solution	On the advice of its trusted CPA firm, Narron upgraded to Sage 100 ERP and implemented the Job Cost module. The Sage 100 ERP Job Cost module was developed for contractors, engineers, architects, and subcontractors who need to monitor profitability on a project-by-project basis. Job Cost integrates seamlessly with all other Sage 100 ERP modules. Cost information is entered once and automatically flows to and from the Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and General Ledger modules. Narron’s supervisors turn in daily time sheets. Each employee’s hours are then entered into the Sage 100 ERP TimeCard module, which automatically delivers data every day to Job Cost. Wage information is delivered to the Payroll module once a week. This allows jobs to reflect up-to-the-minute labor costs while ensuring the Payroll module has the information it needs just in time for payday. Read More Log in to view content
