Hero Features

Labour Quoted Hours and Job Labour Reconciliation Screen

Orion now captures quoted labour hours on jobs and quotes, and introduces the Job Labour Reconciliation Screen to help ensure labour charges are accurate before invoicing. The screen displays quoted and clocked labour side by side for each job section, with automatic write-up and write-down calculations to make it easy to identify and resolve discrepancies before the invoice is finalised.

Key benefits

• Quoted hours can be entered directly on a job or quote, or applied automatically via a Job Kit
• The Job Labour Reconciliation Screen shows quoted vs clocked labour for each section at a glance
• The Adjust clocked labour to match quoted labour button applies a proportional write-up or write-down in a single click
• The Enforce Quoted Labour setting can be enabled to prompt reconciliation automatically when closing an invoice

Progressive Invoicing

Orion now supports progressive invoicing for long-running jobs, allowing you to invoice selected lines from a job while the remaining work stays in progress. Rather than waiting until a job is fully complete, you can split off specific lines at any point and invoice them independently, with all jobs remaining linked back to the original Master Job for easy tracking.

Key benefits

• Invoice parts of a job at intervals without closing or completing the full job
• Select individual lines or entire sections to include in each progressive invoice
• The Master Job maintains links to all related progressive invoices with a consolidated Summary and Details view
• Progressive invoice jobs are tracked with suffixed job numbers (e.g. 4238-1) for clear identification
