Contractor Information System (CIS) consists of an integrated series of
applications designed for the construction trade. Job cost tracking allows the
contractor to set up the breakdowns on a job, establish budget figures for
those breakdowns, and track costs against the budgets. Variances, as it relates
to the budget, in addition to projected costs at job completion, are generated.
Dollars, units, and man-hours can be set up for each of the user-defined
breakdowns. Actual costs will come from the various accounting modules
automatically through the interface features. Job cost also will show committed
costs figures, which are generated through the purchasing system for items
ordered but not yet received for a job. When items are received, an open
invoice is generated for accounts payable and the committed cost figure becomes
an actual cost. The purchasing system may be updated in a like manner,
generating purchase orders. Job cost budget figures may also be updated
automatically from estimating for each of the user-defined breakdowns (phases)
on the job. Many more applications are available.
