Thanks for your responses! I was wondering how they are billed? Can they be billed under seperate contracts/purchase orders? Can we bill one in quick bill and the other in contracts?

Wondering if you've ever received a more indepth response to your questions. I'm looking at using Extras for the first time, and don't know if I need to set up the "sub-jobs" with a different (and separate job number) or if it can just be given an identifier (say by address or school name) as the ID. Our main job is for a school district, and there will be several schools where we're performing work for which we'll need to track costs separately from our GC's. We're hoping to use Extras to accomplish this, but we have no experience with this feature in Sage.

I attempted to do a Sage Live Chat last week to get some questions answered, but I didn't get exactly what I was looking for.

I believe they can be billed to separate contracts but not one to quick bill and one to contracts because that is set on the main job level. 

We used Extras with a school district where we built 64 playgrounds at 64 elementary schools. So, the main job followed our naming convention of YY-XXXX-00, and then each extra was named with the name of the elementary school where the playground would be built. Ex. Woodridge Park Elementary The main job had all of the overhead costs on it if they truly couldn't be billed to an individual playground.

Each extra had the same cost codes and could be run separately to see how the playgrounds were doing individually. The main job could run to show how the whole job was doing at any given time.
