Cost Control- File Menu

The MacNail construction accounting software adds five menu comands to the Excel FILE menu (see also page 122).

*New Job Cost Sheet

Keyboard shortcut: option-command-N.

Choose *New Job Cost Sheet to make a new Cost Control worksheet. You can make it from an estimate or a condensed estimate, or you can make a blank worksheet 'from scratch', with or without your own estimated costs.
See page 127 for further instructions.

Running time: 40 seconds/3 minutes if Clearinghouse subcategories are not included.
Running time: 5 minutes/22 minutes if Clearinghouse subcategories are included.

NOTE-- MacNail was replaced by Goldenseal construction accounting software in 2000. Goldenseal is an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. It is much better at job costing than MacNail.
