                The 
                  Job Costing module tracks the actual cost of manufacturing jobs. 
                  It records material, labor, and other costs to ensure business 
                  profitability. It compares actual versus planned or estimated 
                  costs. You can operate this subsystem by itself or in combination 
                  with other modules like Inventory, Work in Progress, Accounts 
                  Payable and General Ledger. |
