What makes this project management ERP?
The project plan sits alongside the ERP’s operational and financial records. In addition to tasks, schedules, and milestones, your team can manage budgets, resource activity, costs, change orders, and billing within ianaiERP.
Does it include Gantt and Kanban views?
Yes. Gantt views support reviewing the schedule and task dependencies, while Kanban views show work by status. Projects can include phases, milestones, tasks, and subtasks, with progress and activity recorded against the work.
Can we reuse project and budget templates?
Yes. Project templates give recurring work a consistent starting structure, and budget templates support repeatable planning. Teams can adapt the resulting project and budget to the specific customer, scope, and delivery requirements.
How are project costs different from customer billing?
Costs describe the resources and purchases behind delivery; customer billing describes revenue invoiced. ianaiERP reports operational, financial, and committed costs separately and shows billed amounts alongside them. Project coding links the relevant transactions to the review.
Which project billing methods are available?
Project billing supports approved billable time, fixed amounts, achieved milestones, and progress against a contract. Billing summaries show eligible work and prior billing. Retainage can be tracked and released through the billing process where applicable.
Can we manage time approvals and resource availability?
Yes. Project tools support resource assignments, availability and utilization views, time entries, timesheet summaries, and approval or rejection of time. Approved, billable, unbilled time can be reviewed for time-based billing.
How do we handle scope changes?
Use change orders to record changes and move them through the configured review process. Keep supporting files, daily logs, and task activity with the project so teams can review the change in the context of scope, budget, and delivery.
Can manufacturing and field service work sit alongside projects?
Yes. Projects are part of the same ERP as manufacturing, inventory, finance, and field service. Service requests can reference a project code, and project financial views use the relevant coded transactions. The shared context helps teams coordinate broader customer delivery.
