Know what every job cost before month end
Material is issued to the job at the item's real cost; labour is logged per work centre at the rate you set. You know what every job cost: the job card shows material, labour and total cost, per job and per unit, the day the job closes, not when the accountant gets to it.
- Material at real cost, labour at your rates
- Cost per job and per unit on the card
- Job work: material sent out and returned
- Quotes that start from the BOM cost
A worked example from the sample workspace
Sample data; every figure adds up. Rates are set per item and per work centre in your workspace.
How costing works
- Material
Every issue to a job carries the item's current cost; returns credit the job. Over-issue and items not on the BOM need a reason.
- Labour
Hours logged per routing step at a work-centre rate. Change the rate and new entries use it; old entries keep theirs.
- Job work and subcontracting
Send material out against a job-work challan, receive the finished operation back, and keep the subcontractor's charge on the job.
- Quotes
A quote line can start from the BOM material cost and your labour estimate, so the margin is visible before you send it.
What it is not
ZMOS gives you actual job cost; it does not do standard costing with variance analysis or activity-based overhead allocation.
- Standard costing and variances: no
- Overhead allocation: not automated
- Actual material + labour per job: yes

Questions
How does ZMOS calculate job cost?
Material issued at the item's current cost plus labour hours at the work-centre rate, per job; per-unit cost is the total divided by the quantity made.
Can I see cost while the job is open?
Yes. The job card shows cost to date; it is final when the job closes.
Does it handle job work (subcontracting) in India?
Yes: material sent out and received back against the job, with the subcontractor's charge added to the job cost. GST documents stay in your accounting package or in ZMOS accounting.
