See Your Actual Profit on a Sales Order

Today the Profit figure on a Sales Order is an estimate — it uses the cost each line was quoted at, back when the order was written. Underneath it, the Associated Jobs panel shows what each job really cost, but nothing adds those up. So the page tells you what you expected to make on the whole order, and never what you actually made on it.

The Associated Jobs panel now totals your real job costs and shows actual profit and margin, sitting right under the estimate so you can compare the two at a glance.

• If some jobs aren't complete yet, or carry a cost of $0, the figure is framed as an estimate or projection rather than presented as final.
• If job costs aren't being recorded at all, it tells you plainly instead of quietly showing a wrong number.

Rolling out over the next few weeks — if you don't see it on your Sales Orders yet, it's coming.
