Important Features of Project Cost Tracking

Resource Management

Assign project managers, employees, equipment, and other resources to projects and tasks. Establish billing rules and options for each task.

Task Definition

Define tasks globally or for individual projects. Assign billing rates by project, job role, and individual to generate expected revenues in project budgets.

Easy to Update Tasks

Easily add activities using Project Accounting or through CRM. All Acumatica modules are fully integrated.

Allocate Expenses

Allocate overhead and shared expenses to individual projects according to formulas you create including billable and non-billable items.

Templates for Projects and Tasks

Create new projects from master templates. Specify people, equipment, budgets, and project billing. Multiple users can work on multiple concurrent projects.

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.

Forecast Project Budget by Period

Enter and modify budget forecasts and compare these forecasts with the actual project costs and income for each financial period. Users can forecast original and revised budget amounts and quantities for existing project budget lines for financial periods of the master calendar. Also, users can create generic inquiries and pivot tables.

Reclassify Project Costs

Simplify corrections based on general ledger account or subaccount, project or project task, and cost code.

"I hate the fact that other ERPs nickel-and-dime me, and charge me every time we add a user or a piece of functionality. The fact that Acumatica is not licensed per-user, and includes a broad set of functionality at an affordable price, was very appealing to me."
Jim Beale, IT Manager
S&S Activewear
"Users can get real-time information according to their specific profiles and make decision for their daily activities with more autonomy and accurate information. Acumatica is changing the way we work."
