Jobs

Jobs is the board of work with the money attached: what each job brought in, what it cost, and therefore what it actually earned. Types rolls that up so you can see which kind of work is worth doing. Pricing holds the rates you set yourself, and Materials holds recipes and light stock. A membership business — a gym or a studio — is not shown Jobs at all; its members and their plans live in Customers and Get Paid.

Because revenue landed and no costs were attached to it. A job with money in and nothing out is not a 100% margin job, it is a job whose costs DeskOps has not been told about — so it says unknown rather than printing a number that would flatter you into a bad decision. Open the job, choose + Attach a cost to this job and pick the expense, and the figure appears. A cost counts wherever the job's profit is shown whether you attached it to the job or to its invoice: a receipt attached to the job from Expenses is in that invoice's Job profit card too. The one exception is a job that more than one invoice bills, such as a deposit and a balance — a cost attached to that job counts once, on the Jobs board, and the invoice card says so instead of charging it against both documents. On Types, a margin covers only jobs whose money and costs are both known; a paid job with no costs, or hours with no pay rate, is left out and named.

Rates are yours — DeskOps will not invent a price for you. You can enter them here, and the first time you charge a suggested item on an invoice or quote with no price saved for it, the price you charged is saved as your rate; after that only you change it. What you set here is what your invoices and quotes offer as one-tap prices.
