Jobs

A job is one piece of work, such as "Smith kitchen rewire". Put your time, journeys, expenses, quotes and invoices into the job, and Kev shows you what it cost and what it made. Jobs are free on every plan.

Add a job

  1. Open Jobs. On a phone, tap Jobs at the top of the Time or Invoices tab, or All jobs on your Home page. It's also in Settings. On a computer, Jobs is in the menu on the left. You can also tap Add a job on your Home page.
  2. Tap Add job.
  3. Give it a name. The client, address, hourly rate and notes are optional.
  4. Tap Save job.

The hourly rate is used to price your hours when you invoice the job. Notes are only for you.

Put things in a job

Open a time entry, journey, expense, quote or invoice and pick the job in its Job box. It saves straight away. Pick Not part of a job to take it out again.

The Job box is on:

  • Time: when you edit a time entry. Tap Start timer on a job's page to start a job timer that's already in that job.
  • Mileage: on a business journey's page.
  • Expenses: when you open an expense.
  • Quotes and Invoices: on the quote or invoice page. Tap New quote or New invoice on a job's page and the new one goes straight into the job, with the job's client already chosen.

When you turn a quote into an invoice, the invoice goes into the same job.

What the job page shows

  • Time worked: finished time entries. A timer that's still running counts once you stop it.
  • Miles and the mileage claim for those journeys.
  • Costs: your expenses, before VAT if you entered the VAT.
  • Invoiced: sent and paid invoices, before VAT, and how much is still owed. Drafts don't count.
  • Left after costs: what you invoiced, less costs and the mileage claim. It's before tax and doesn't count your own time as a cost.

Below that is everything in the job. Tap any of it to open it.

Invoice this job (Kev Pro)

With Kev Pro, Invoice this job starts the invoice for you: a Labour line with your hours at the job's hourly rate, and a line for each expense at cost. Check the lines, change anything you need, then save. On the free plan, New invoice puts the invoice in the job and you add the lines yourself.

Finish a job

Tap Mark job done at the bottom of the job page. Finished jobs stop showing in the Job boxes, but keep everything in them. Find them under Finished jobs on the Jobs page, and tap Reopen job if you need to.

Delete job removes the job only. Its time, journeys, expenses, quotes and invoices are kept, just no longer grouped.
