Why You Should Set Up Job Defaults

Setting up job defaults makes it easier for you to enter your job information and to ensure that it is entered accurately. It also allows you to customize some areas of Sage 50 that are related to jobs.

• Improve Ease and Accuracy of Data Entry: Defaults are the standard selections that apply to the majority of your jobs. Some of the default information you set up here is automatically filled in for new jobs you set up in Maintain Jobs. You can change this information for an individual job if necessary.
• Keep Track of Your Jobs: Job statuses are used to keep track of your jobs in Sage 50. You can select a status for a job in Maintain Jobs. The statuses that are available for selection are set up in Job Defaults. Sage 50 provides you with some typical job statuses, but you can change these or add more to track jobs in a way that makes sense for your company.
• Enter More Information About Your Jobs: You can enter additional information about your jobs in Maintain Jobs by setting up Custom Fields.
