Projects

Description

Projects allow the collection of multiple sources of revenue and costs from different parts of the system to give an overview of project profitability.  Projects can include multiple sales orders, direct sales, miscellaneous sales invoicing, costs of products sold, miscellaneous purchase invoicing and miscellaneous material and work collection using service work orders. Also sales quotations can be linked to a project.
