Creating Sub Jobs

Sub Jobs are jobs that are linked to a master job. They represent distinct parts of the job and can simplify reporting.

Note: You must have a master job before you can enter a sub job.

To create a sub job:

1. Choose File > New Sub Job in the Job Management window.

2. Double click the master job with which to associate the sub job in the Search window that displays.

3. The Job Details window displays. Fill in all details of the sub job.

The sub job is numbered and displays as a sub job on the Sub Jobs tab of the selected master job.

Tip: The job code for the sub job could include part of the master job number or code, for easy cross-referencing.

If the Allow invoicing of sub jobs from master jobs Company-level profile setting is enabled, sub jobs are invoiced from their master jobs. A single invoice is created for the master job and all of its sub jobs.
