Job Costing Feedback-- Unprompted

NOTE-- We retired the MacNail estimating program in 2000, and replaced it with Goldenseal construction estimating software. There are still a significant number of die-hard MacNail users, so we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, scheduling and contract writing.

Feeding back Costs-- Unprompted

If you don't check 'Use prompts at each category' under Feedback Options, the job costing feedback process will run completely automatically.

It will run as described in steps 1 through 10 in the previous section, but instead of asking about incomplete items (step 8), the MacNail construction management software will always pro-rate them.

Instead of asking about large cost overruns or underruns (step 9), the MacNail construction management software will always limit them to the maximum deviation set in Feedback Options.
