Budget Reporting

Vary billing rates by employee / customer, type of work, or specific project. Recognize revenue based on completion percentage or task progress.

Control Change Orders

Improve project management by controlling changes to the project scope, including customer and internal requests. Create a change order with all the documentation, including the revenue budget, cost budget, commitments, and class. Define your workflows and approval processes, and release change orders with full business intelligence visibility and audit trail control.

Manage Project Quotes

Simplify project sales and pricing by supporting complex quote processes, improving project control and management. Create quotes, update them, link them to CRM and track versions. When approved, create projects and provide billing details.

Company-Specific Financial Periods

Companies within the same tenant can have different fiscal year-end dates, important for companies that share vendors, stock items, and employees. The company-specific periods are defined at the branch level.

Multi-Currency Project Accounting

Enter project transactions in different currencies and maintain projects in both the base currency and the project currency. With multi-currency project accounting, project managers and accountants can review actual revenues, actual costs, and committed costs in the project currency, with an ability to calculate project profitability in both the project currency and the base currency, and present costs to the customer in the customer’s currency.

Revenue Recognition

Define billing rules to recognize revenue using the percentage of completion or the completed tasks method. All recognition rules are automatically reflected in the GL journal entries.
