Nexus Business Register · Project and job cost allocation

Job costing and project cost tracking for SMEs

Put supplier costs where they belong. Allocate invoice lines to a project, job, reporting unit or cost type and see what each job really cost.

The problem it solves

Without allocating costs to jobs, businesses price the next job on guesswork and only find out a project lost money when the year-end figures arrive.

What is included

Allocate invoice lines

Assign all or part of an invoice line to a project, job, team or reporting unit.

Cost types

Separate materials, labour and other cost types for a clearer margin picture.

Spend per project

See allocated spend, cost mix and trend for each project or job.

Optional by design

Allocation is there when it adds value; unallocated costs are not treated as an error.

Who it is for

  • Trades and construction businesses
  • Agencies and professional services working on client projects
  • Businesses with several sites, teams or departments

Questions about project and job cost allocation

What is job costing?

Job costing records the costs that belong to a specific job or project, such as materials, subcontractors and supplies, so you can see the real cost and margin of each piece of work.

Can one invoice be split across several jobs?

Yes. Invoice lines can be allocated in full or by percentage to different projects, jobs or reporting units.

Do I have to allocate every cost?

No. Allocation is optional and used only where it helps your reporting; unallocated costs are not treated as errors.
