Think of an extra as a Job within a Job that can be tracked separately while still being able to combine it with the MainJob. For example, say you are building a house and the owner also wants a swimiing pool in the backyard. The swimming pool could be set up as an Extra so it could be tracked separately from the house, but still can be reported together when running reports associated with MainJob (house)

Thanks Denise.  We currently setup a new cost code to track this instead of using "extra's".  Since I'm unfamiliar, can you tell me the benefit of doing it as you explained?  Perhaps we should change our ways!
