Shop costs and company overhead

Keep rent, utilities, fuel and indirect labor separate from direct jobs.

Steps

  1. Assign a shared expense to Company / shop overhead.
  2. Company overhead uses expense dates and the selected reporting year. Paid-expense cash activity uses settlement dates instead.
  3. Overhead is already included in total expenses; it is not automatically deducted from each job forecast. An overhead allowance in an estimate affects pricing, not expense records.

Check that it worked

Verify the saved entries and related cost totals.
