    • Move Size

    • Inventory Volume

    • Pricing rules configured in Pricing Settings

    All required fields (dates, locations, and size) must be completed for auto-pricing to work accurately.

Option 2: Manual Entry of Line Items

YYou can manually add charges in two ways:

Search Existing Line Items

  • Select a saved line item from the dropdown

Create a Custom Line Item

If the item does not exist, enter:

  • Rate – Cost per unit

  • Quantity – Number of hours, movers, or items

  • Unit Type – Hourly, Per Unit, or Fixed Price

  • Tax – Apply applicable tax (e.g. GST)

  • Total Amount – Calculated automatically or entered manually

Note:

  1. Fixed Price items are ideal for callout fees or one-time charges

  2. Hourly (HR) items will calculate based on job time recorded in the Jobsheet or Crew App

Once all job and pricing details are reviewed:

  • Click Submit Job to finalise and create the job

The job will now appear in the Jobs Table, where you can manage scheduling, crew assignments, finances, inventory, and completion.

Creating jobs in MoverMate ensures accurate scheduling, transparent pricing, and smooth job management from booking to completion. You can update or refine job details at any stage as the job progresses.
