For example, if you are recording resource usage for Job number 1001, enter 1001 in the <b>Job No.<\/b> field. Click the drop down to select from a list of Jobs if you do not know the Job number.

The program enters this information based on what you entered in the <b>Type<\/b> and <b>No<\/b>. fields.

A Job can have several different work types, such as overtime driving or working with heavy machinery. The program adjusts the prices for the Job depending on the work type you enter.
