VARIATIONS

Variations are used to add extra items or costs to a job that was not included in the original accepted quote. You can add a variation by going into a job, click on the variations tab and then adding a record. You can then create a record of the extra item or cost when it was created, and the staff person who approved it.

Once you have saved the created variation you can print it or send through the job corro as a attached PDF to the customer for them to sign and approve.

Note: For job variations that involve additional products or labour requirements, it would be recommended to click on the Leads tab inside the job card and double click on the attached lead. This will open up the assigned lead for the job, then click on Quotes tab, and add a new record. This will allow you to create, send and accept a new quote for the additional variations required for the job, and invoice this once the new quote is updated to “Accepted”.  For more info on how to quote Click Here
