Project Costing

Each project contains several tasks linked to it. To monitor the actual cost of a project, particularly in terms of services, a user must generate a timesheet based on the time allocated to a task within the project. You can track the service cost against a project using the following methods.

Activity Type

Activity Type is a Master of Services offered by your personnel. You can add a new Activity type from:

> Home > Project > Activity Type > New

Activity Cost

The Activity Cost master allows you to monitor the billing and costing rates for each employee associated with different types of activities.

Timesheet

Based on the time spent on the Project-Task, an Employee will create a Timesheet.

On selection of the Activity Type in the Time Log, Billing and Costing Rate will be fetched for that Employee from the respective Activity Cost.

Multiplying these rates with total no. of hours in the Time Log gives Costing Amount and Billing Amount for the specific Time Log.

Costing in Project and Task

The costing of specific tasks will be updated in their respective task records based on all the timesheets created for them. Similarly, the project’s cost will be updated by considering the timesheets created for each associated task, ensuring that the project’s cost is updated accordingly
