Job-costing systems are designed for situations where each job or unit produced is unique and requires different amounts of resources. Costs are tracked per job, rather than being averaged out over a large production run. This allows for more accurate pricing and costing of jobs that have different levels of resource usage. Process costing, on the other hand, is used when large quantities of identical units are produced and costs are averaged out over the entire production run. Hybrid systems may use elements of both job-costing and process costing depending on the production process. Accounting is a broader term that encompasses all aspects of financial record-keeping and reporting.
