Setup Overview

In order to accommodate the many different ways in which MYOB Exo Job Costing can be employed within service and project based businesses, it is necessary to have a comprehensive list of preference settings that define and modify the behaviour of Job Costing to suit these businesses.

The process of setting up Job Costing, includes the following steps:

• Detailing configuration changes to the MYOB Exo Business system to prepare for the use of Job Costing.

• Installation and licensing of your Job Costing module

• Providing an overview of the Job Costing structure, including job status and related flags, job types and categories, and cost groups and cost types.

• Setting up the Job Costing environment options before its initial use, including how to record standard (default) Job Costing information such as job types and categories to simplify the task of data entry.

Note: A certified MYOB Exo Job Costing implementation partner normally performs the setup. This information is provided for completeness, and to help the advanced user’s understanding of the Job Costing system.
