# Job Tracking and Account

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Job Tracking is the section of moducut where you keep jobs’ prices, payments, expenses, delivery dates and quote appointments. It calculates monthly net earnings together with shop expenses; the data stays on this computer.

> **Short answer** While in the project, open Settings › **Job Details (price, delivery, payment)…** and enter the job’s price, payments, expenses and delivery date. All jobs appear in **Job Tracking** on the start screen, and the open project’s account under **File › Account** on the ribbon.

## Entering job details

1. Open the project and choose Settings › **Job Details (price, delivery, payment)…**.
2. Enter the customer details, Status (Quote sent, Approved, In production, In assembly, Delivered, Cancelled), Date the job was taken, Delivery date and Job price (agreed). Consumption cost (from Nesting) fills in on its own once the project is opened and Nesting Results are calculated; it can also be typed by hand.
3. Record each payment received with its date using **Add payment**, and the job’s expenses with **Add expense**.
4. Press **OK**. To remove the record, use **Delete record**.

## The Account window

File › **Account** on the ribbon (next to the Log button) opens the whole of Job Tracking in a window; the “This job” row at the top shows the open project’s status, delivery date and days left, price, cost, profit, amount collected and amount still due. If no details have been entered, an **Enter job details** button appears.

## Job Tracking tabs

On the start screen, open **Job Tracking** from the left menu. If there are warnings, the menu shows their count.

- **Monthly Summary.** Choose the month; the Accounting basis is Cash received (collections) or Delivered jobs. With collections, payments received that month count as income and the job’s cost falls into that month in proportion to what was paid; with delivery, the job counts with its price and cost in the month it was delivered. The month’s balance and recent months are shown side by side.
- **Jobs.** The list of all jobs.
- **Appointments.** Quote or measuring appointments; customer, date, time and subject. Status is Pending, Completed or Cancelled.
- **Shop Expenses.** Expenses that repeat every month, such as rent, with a start and end month. Earnings from outside the program are on this tab too.
- **Other Income / Expense.** One-off entries not tied to a job.

## Reminders

Job Tracking lists jobs with deliveries coming up or overdue, and today’s or tomorrow’s appointments, as warnings. If you turn on “Remind me even when the program is closed”, moducut starts in the system tray without opening a window when Windows starts, and reminds you of deliveries and appointments with Windows notifications. An appointment with a time is notified one hour before it starts.

> **Tip:** To keep the consumption cost current, open Nesting Results once after nesting; record expenses not included in consumption, such as transport, with Add expense.

## Frequently asked questions

### Where is Job Tracking data stored?

On this computer; it is not written to the project file.

### Does the quote price carry over to the job price on its own?

No. You type the job price into Job Details as the amount you agreed with the customer.

### Do notifications come while the program is closed?

Yes, if “Remind me even when the program is closed” is on; moducut runs in the system tray and shows Windows notifications.
