Our old software had a function that allowed us to basically move all costs from one job to another by just selecting the jobs in question and running a quick update.  If I recall correctly (it has been 6+ years since I have used it), I believe that even if the same phases were not on the job where the costs would be going to that the system added them during the update.  That was very useful and allowed for easy tracking for items that may have been set up incorrectly initially.  If we find that an entire job's costs must be moved now, I believe that we'd need to use JC History Reclassification which becomes very time consuming because all of the different cost types must be moved separately and when the phases are not the same, they must be created or another phase must be searched for and selected.  I know about "master" jobs, but I don't believe that when a job has a master job that the info (costs) trickle to all reports and inquiry screens so that can lead to confusion.  Anyway, I'd like to see this functionality in Spectrum...not sure about other companies, but for those with in-house payroll, adding a job on the fly occurs often with us in order to get payroll posted and can lead to multiple jobs if the communication doesn't flow to the right people and we've also found that our clients tend to set up work that initially starts as its own contract and then becomes part of an existing project as a change order...if the "new" job has a lot of costs, then that can take a lot of time to move them to the base job.
