Job Costing Improvements

There can be a lot of complicated calculations and assumptions required to do accurate job costing. For example, if you have a job where you’re making 10 parts, you might pick a full sheet of material, return some of it, then cut one part at a time (incrementing by 1), make 9 parts, and scrap 1. Then go back and pick more material to make the 10th part, etc.

Previously, per unit cost changes were applied moving forward. Now, Fulcrum can retroactively update costs based on the new information (additional picks, etc). Note: this doesn’t change the total cost on the job, but allows us to more effectively apply the costs across every transaction related to the job - reducing fluctuations in transaction values and creating more consistent per unit costs.

To help increase the visibility here as well, there will be job logs for these updates with tooltips that provide more information about these adjustments.
