Hi Mel,

It has been a while since your post, but if you are still looking for a Job Costing Solution for Odoo, we have created this now for Odoo.

https://odoo.interacct.com.au/job-costing-by-interacct/

You will be able to create unlimited Sub Jobs under Parent Jobs which will allow you to breakdown your Jobs to whatever level of detail you like. Under each job you can record the multiple Estimates which can convert to Budget, and then you can track your actuals against this budget with Costs seperated by Materials, Direct Labour, SubContractors, Machines and Sundry Costs.

Let me know if it is what you are after.

Hello,

See this module https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/10.0/odoo_job_costing_management/

Hi ,

In openERP , we will use analytic accounting for this purpose , you can refer to many documentation to give you an idea of how to do it , but there is no fixed way of controlling such kind of process because every company has somehow different way to manage their costing.

one of the document that i found is useful is this link http://www.netcerto.eu/en/openerp-possibilities/analytic-accounting

hth.

I found this company called Pragmatic based out of India. pragtechblog.blogspot.sg

I am wondering if anyone here has used their module and product before?

Is there any other way to perform Job Costing without additional modules and yet can perform job tracking and costing elegantly? The Analytic Accounts is a functional possibility but its not an elegant solution and would require significant training for my staff to use the system properly. I require an "idiot-proof" system to create jobs, track costing and provide reports.
