Sometimes you just want to know what a day is worth. A boiler service booked in at £85 doesn't need a quote, and you're not invoicing it yet — but you'd like the figure on the job so it adds up.
That's the job price. It's yours alone: it isn't a quote, it isn't an invoice, and it never appears on anything the customer receives.
Set it on the job
Open the job (or book a new one) and fill in Job price. Leave it blank if you don't know yet — it's optional. It's there too when you book a job straight from a service reminder or a certificate that's due.
Or give each job type a default
If a boiler service is always £85, set it once. Head to Settings → Work → Job types, tap the pencil on the type, and fill in the price.
From then on every new job of that type starts at that price, whoever books it. You can always change it on the job — a bigger boiler, a regular customer, whatever it is.
Existing job types start with no price, so nothing appears on your jobs until you set one.
See what the week is worth
With Revenue Reports switched on, the Overview tab shows the next seven days, day by day:
- Each job counts at its job price.
- Once a job is invoiced, the invoice total takes over instead — never both, so nothing's counted twice.
- Jobs with no price are counted and flagged, so a low day isn't mistaken for a quiet one.
- Cancelled jobs drop out. Finished jobs that aren't invoiced yet still count — that's still the day's money.
Who can see it
Only people who can see invoices — normally you and your managers. Changing it needs permission to edit invoices too. Engineers, apprentices and subcontractors don't see the price on the job, and Mucka won't read it out to them.
Worth knowing
- A job booked over several days carries its price once, on the first day. Put the price for the whole job there.
- Service plan visits don't take a price — the customer already pays for those through the plan each month.
- Repeating jobs carry the price on every visit, because each one is its own visit.
- A job made from an accepted quote starts at the quote's total — that's the price the customer agreed to.
