This function would definitely be helpful for both operations and sales. Please add us

Would love for the budget function to be able to provide the Estimated Cost vs the Actual Job Cost on the same screen with additional columns showing percentage change and actual dollar differences for each line item.

Add us to the list of companies who would love this feature. Something to measure estimated vs actual costs.

This is SO necessary! We aren't really using the cost feature to it's full potential bc it would display detailed estimates of costs to any employee that uses estimates OR that can view estimates. However, if we were able to hide costs as a function of Access Roles, then we could apply our true cost estimates to each p/s line item. However, in budgets you really need to be able to see the impact of Estimated vs. Actual Costs, and evaluate performance based on the total amount charged to the customer. WHICH MEANS YOU MAY NEED TO COMBINE INVOICES FOR THE BUDGET TO WORK PROPERLY!!! We have to make change orders all the time, and only being able to pull data from one invoice at a time makes it a bit more time consuming.

Job Profit Calculation (Job Costing) - Estimate vs. Actual
I am an electrical contractor and its very time consuming to go through and manually edit the job budget info from the estimate vs the actual cost to determine the real NP per job per assignee. I see where this has been brought up several times of the last 6 years. what is the status of the feature being intergrated to the software. JN has a great platform, however: this component is extermely critical to evaluating job performance and bonus. It doesnt make sense to have all the features that JN has incorporated and skip this vital component. Please follow up, or advise of there is a bolt on that can be intergrated into the platform. Thank you

Bump.

New user here. Just signed up for JN. I've looked back at some older posts going back to 2017. It concerns me to see that there is no place to input actual costs and get a true budget vs actuals. It does not need to be a sync to QBs feature and risk potential issues with data. We just need a section where we can add the rolling actuals as they come in. Everything for proper cost accounting is in the software except actuals. Invoices, budgets, estimates. Why not actuals? I created a custom field on the Job info card to capture this, but its a workaround for something that feels like it should exist in the structure provided already.

It would be great to have an option for to do a projected budget vs an actual budget. This would allow you to create a projected budget with numbers you think you would need for a job. This way I don't have to make sure to go back in and change the numbers once job is being finalized. It can be confusing, if we're putting projected cost vs actual costs.

I think if you have it synced with qb it can be done there

The ability to have more than one budget. One for the projected cost of a job that would not effect reports and the actual budget.

Add a Budget, under Financials tabs, in each job and each line item is job costs

a location to upload receipt separate from other documents

Where you can enter where you spent money on the job and how much to keep up with your profit.

Have a projected budget and an actual budget

Really important to easily track actual costs versus budget. Need to see how accurate estimates are and what actual profits are.

<p>Have a tab to record all costs on the job </p>

THIS is very important to our business. Currently I can add job costs under the budget section, but it requires multiple clicks to see the information and does not allow me to get a true profit for the job automatically, I have to do all of the math.

This is critically important!!

I would like to be able to enter my actual costs of a job in Nimbus, where it pulls and creates a Profit & Loss area showing what you projected for the job and what the actual is and where you stand profit wise (percentage) where it will show before and after commission and overhead

Job Net Profit : Estimate less material costs less work orders costs = net profit

I'd welcome an added function to the Budget feature - One that would actually allow the Budget Created function off of an estimate to also input costs column into the budget template, not just the price column - This is because as a contractor with subs/suppliers, our "budget" on a job is actually the Estimated Costs (the price is reflection of our markup and the budget feature would be more helpful in analyzing how we over/under performed compared to Cost projections) ...
