Allow us to choose the default Status of both New Jobs (Job Cost Set-up Window - Status Tab) & Status of Extras (Extras window - general tab) so that we can choose the default setting either "Unstarted" or "In Progress". By being able to tell sage that the Status of all new jobs & Extras is "In Progress" we are able prevent the need to go back into Job Cost after an estimate or budget is entered to manually change the status. The status must be set to "in Progress" in order for our budget data and the Extra to show-up in our time keeping software (About Time).

Jobs can be imported, or set-up through PJ... why should I need to go back into JOB Cost just to change the job status so my time keeping software can see the budget.

Another example is that an extra can be created from Service Management Module... however, before the time keeping software can see it I have to go back into extras and change the status to "InProgress"...

PLEASE HELP!!!!

  • This would be a tremendous improvement. Thanks for the idea. Let’s get this done!

  • Much needed improvement!

  • YES! After an Estimate import, we must change each Labor Cost Code to "in progress" manually, so that our field workers can see the cost code during field time entry. This is too time consuming!
