Your job cost sheet becomes the quote, order & invoice — in one confirmation

Sales Estimate from Job Cost Sheet turns itemized labor, material, subcontractor, and overhead costs into a customer estimate, then previews and generates the Sales Order, Invoice, Manufacturing Order, and Project Tasks — nothing is committed until you approve it.

The problem

Estimators re-key the same job cost line items into a quotation, a sales order, an invoice, and sometimes a manufacturing order or task list — each transcription is a chance for a transposition error or a margin that quietly erodes because the quoted price no longer matches the true cost. For teams running dozens of concurrent jobs, this duplicate entry is a daily time sink and a source of billing disputes.

The solution

Build one itemized Job Cost Sheet and let the estimate price derive automatically from cost plus your target margin. A preview-and-edit wizard shows exactly which Sales Order, Invoice, Manufacturing Order, and Tasks will be created — adjust or deselect any of them before anything is committed — then track estimated-versus-actual margin as the job progresses.

Capabilities

From costed line items to signed-off revenue

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Itemized Job Cost Sheets

Labor, material, subcontractor, and overhead cost lines roll up automatically into per-category and grand totals.

02

Margin-Derived Estimate Pricing

Set a target margin percent and every line’s estimate price, plus the sheet total, recalculates live.

03

Preview-and-Edit Generation Wizard

See exactly which Sales Order, Invoice, Manufacturing Order, and Tasks will be created, and toggle any of them off before anything commits.

04

One-Action Sales Order & Invoice

Generate the Sales Order and a draft customer Invoice straight from the approved job cost sheet, no re-keying required.

05

Optional Manufacturing Order

Toggle a linked Manufacturing Order for jobs that need production; off by default for pure service firms.

06

Auto-Generated Project Tasks

Turn cost lines into Project Tasks linked back to the job sheet, with labor lines carrying allocated hours.

07

Estimated-vs-Actual Margin Tracking

Record actual cost per line and see cost-overrun flags alongside live estimated and actual margin percentages.

08

Login-Free Portal Approval

A tokenized link lets customers review the estimate and sign off with a digital signature, no portal account required.

09

Bulk Generation & Cost Templates

Generate documents for many job sheets in one batch, and start new sheets from a reusable cost-category template.

Workflow

How it works

1

Build the Job Cost Sheet

Add labor, material, subcontractor, and overhead lines — or load a cost-category template — and set your target margin.

2

Mark It Estimated

Confirm the cost sheet is ready so the estimate price is locked in for customer review.

3

Preview & Generate

Open the Generate Documents wizard, choose which of Sales Order, Invoice, Manufacturing Order, and Tasks to create, and confirm.

4

Track & Get Signed Off

Share a login-free portal link for signature approval, and watch the Estimated-vs-Actual tab as real costs come in.
