Job costing and profit
How labor and material costs land on a job, and how SiteLedger turns them into a live margin.
How job costing works
A job costs itself from the hours logged against it and the receipts assigned to it.
Setting a budget and getting alerts
The contract value is the budget, and you choose the point at which SiteLedger tells you a job is eating it.
Labor cost vs material cost
SiteLedger splits job cost into two buckets: hours from timesheets, and everything on a receipt.
Reading your margin
What the margin percentage on a job means, why it sometimes shows a dash, and what the colours are telling you.
