Running the Master Job Bid Progress Report

The Master Job Bid Progress Report shows what progress has been made toward billing and delivering the products on a master job bid (MJB). The report displays the original price along with the effect of change orders on the current price, and compares the projected billings to the actual invoice totals. If you select Detail mode, it also displays all of the invoices generated for the MJB.

This report can be run in stand-alone mode or from within the Master Job Bid Review Queue. If you run the stand-alone version, you can choose a set of MJBs on which to report, based on the customer, the project status, the expected completion date, or a followup date. The queue version can be run for a selected MJB only.
