Important Features of Project Cost Tracking
Connected Modules
Project features are available in the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Sales Order Management, Purchase Order Management, Employee Portal, and Inventory Management modules. Other integrated applications include CRM, Manufacturing, and Field Service.
Resource Management
Assign project managers, employees, equipment, and other resources to projects and tasks. Establish billing rules and options for each task.
Project Material Management
Streamline the management of project materials, including receipts and issues for purchased materials. Create requisitions with approvals workflow and create purchase orders to ship materials directly to a project location.
Project Tasks and Templates
Use templates to create new projects with preset configurations. Specify people, equipment, budgets, and project billing. Multiple users can work on multiple concurrent projects. Assign tasks for individual or global projects. Assign task billing rates by project, job role, and individual resources. Project budgets reflect expected revenues.
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.
Manage Project Quotes
Create quotes, update them, link them to CRM, track versions, and create projects.
Add Project Activity Directly
Easily add activities from CRM or import activities from external systems. As a result, information is integrated and used later in worksheets and billable data.
Allocate Expenses
Allocate overhead and shared expenses to individual projects according to formulas you create including billable and non-billable items.
Flexible Labor Cost Rates
Define costs by employee, labor item, project, project task, and the rate type, particularly for construction prevailing wage and union requirements.
Easy to Update Tasks
Easily add activities using Project Accounting or through CRM. All Acumatica modules are fully integrated.
Reclassify Project Costs
Simplify corrections based on general ledger account or subaccount, project or project task, and cost code.
Link Timesheets to Projects
Employees can enter timesheets in the employee portal or enter activities linked to projects in CRM. Both options link hours to specific projects and budgets.
Immediate Access to Payroll Costs
Access payroll costs as soon as they are posted from Time Management, rather than waiting to see them until after payroll runs have been processed.
WIP Support
Keep close track of accumulated but unbilled costs (work-in-progress) to help keep projects on budget. Acumatica adds control for billing against schedules without losing track of actual expenditures.
