What it saves you
- Each commission totals its logged hours and material cost into a real job cost
- Profit per job is calculated from quote minus labour and materials
- Balances still owed after deposits are listed in one view
- Jobs close to their promised date are flagged before they are late
How the parts work together
- Quote: Add the customer → Create a commission with specs, quote and promised date
- Make: Record the deposit → Log hours in the work log → Record materials drawn in material use
- Hand over: Move to Ready to collect → Record the final payment → Check profit in "Job profitability"
