To use Phases, you must begin with Phase 1 or higher.Phase 0-None is a place holder if you are not using Phases.
To enter job phases:
- Open 3-5 Jobs (Accounts Receivable), and then select the job.
- From the Options menu, select Job Phases.
- On the Job Phases window, in the Phase# column, enter the phase number.
- In the Description column, enter a brief statement about the phase.
- In the Billing Amount column, enter the amount that you want to bill per phase when creating invoices by phase.
- In the Retention column, enter the retention rate for the phase.
- In the Model column, enter the model.
- Do any of the following, as required:
- In the Unit column, enter the unit of measurement.
- In the Quantity column, enter the measurement.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each phase.
