The Data Plus Project Management application incorporates both Project budgeting and tracking and Purchase Order functions. Projects can be set up with as many sections as desired with separate budget amounts for each section. Both initial and working budgets can be created. Once a working budget is created, the initial budget is frozen and is used only for reporting purposes.
Purchase Orders can be created for items that are to be ordered. A Purchase Order does not need to be associated with a project. Purchase Orders can reference standard items or new items can be created on the fly as the Purchase Order is entered. Purchase Orders can be created using all or parts of other Purchase Orders.
When invoices are processed in Accounts Payable, the Project Management module is automatically updated to reflect the amounts spent for each Purchase Order and Project. A number of reports are available to track actual versus budget for moneys committed as well as spent.
Interfaces:
- Automatic interface with Accounts Payable to create invoices from receiving
- Automatic interface with General Ledger
