Author’s Corrections in JobBag

What Are They?

Author’s Corrections are extra tasks done outside the original brief. They may or may not be billed, but must be tracked. Measuring them helps reveal true job and client profitability—especially with clients who require frequent changes.

Where They Appear

You can flag Author’s Corrections across:

• Timesheets
• Purchase Orders
• Supplier Invoices

Why It Matters

Even if not billed, recording Author’s Corrections:

• Highlights unplanned work
• Shows if a client is less profitable
• Helps justify charges when invoicing

Tips for Better Tracking

• Add a note whenever marking something as an Author’s Correction.
• Notes can be pulled directly into invoices, making charges transparent and easier to defend.
• This detail also appears in the Detailed Job Report, keeping your team informed.

Profit Potential

Some agencies earn more from Author’s Corrections than from the original job—especially on high-touch work (e.g., government brochures). A few revisions may be acceptable, but excessive changes (e.g., 16–17 rounds) should be recorded—even if not charged.

Key Takeaway:

You don’t have to bill for every Author’s Correction—but you must measure them.
