Hi,
In terms of costing you may want to look at material burden costings. I have never used it in anger but I believe it adds costs to purchased costs on some transactions. Also probably depends on your costing methods.
If there is a one to one match with the sales order. E.g. order qty 10 , po qty 10 , job qty 10 you could at least automate the generation of the po and job from the sales order.
If you want detail you will need to stick with jobs but how much is detail worth to organisation compared to effort?

Some say you have the price of the purchased part and you have a quote/order/invoice that show the selling price, and it will show in the Product Group. You don't need the job to "capture" the cost of 5 seconds to put on a new label so there's no value in creating the job, no costs to track other than the purchase price and the selling price.
