ianaiERP · Projects & Delivery

Project Management

Deliver the work. Keep the scope, cost, and billing in view.

Connect project plans to the operational and financial work behind them. Organize phases, tasks, and milestones; assign resources; track budgets and costs; and manage change orders and billing in ianaiERP. Give delivery and finance teams a shared view of what is planned, what has happened, and what can be billed.

OverviewCapabilitiesHow it worksUse casesQuestions

Project delivery with a financial context

A project is more than a task list.

A schedule can look healthy while costs rise. Materials can be ordered before the work begins, and finished milestones can wait for an invoice. ianaiERP brings project structure, resource activity, purchasing and financial records into the same working environment so your team can review delivery and commercial progress together.

Keep scope and sequence clear
Start with a repeatable structure, then organize the phases, dependencies, and milestones that make this project different.
See the cost picture as work develops
Review budgets alongside operational, financial, and committed costs, with customer billing shown separately.
Connect progress to the next bill
Review approved billable time, achieved milestones, contract progress, and amounts already invoiced before billing.

Plan, deliver, and bill from one project record

Give project managers the delivery detail they need and finance teams the cost and billing context they need, without rebuilding the project in a separate spreadsheet.

Structure the work from the start

Create projects from templates and break delivery into phases, milestones, tasks, and subtasks. Use Gantt views for the schedule and dependencies, and Kanban views for the flow of work. Teams can track responsibilities, progress, comments, and task activity within the project.

  • Reuse project structures for recurring types of work.
  • Connect task dependencies and review upcoming milestones.
  • Keep task conversations and activity with the work they describe.

Build a budget that follows the scope

Develop project budgets from reusable templates and review planned amounts alongside delivery. Budget structures can support the commercial work around a project, including creating an estimate or contract from the budget. Keep the starting assumptions available when scope or cost changes.

  • Use project and budget templates for consistent planning.
  • Organize budget lines around the work your team needs to deliver.
  • Carry an agreed budget into estimate and contract preparation.

Review commitments, actual costs, and variance

See the difference between what has been ordered, what operations have recorded, and what has reached the financial ledger. Project cost summaries bring these views alongside the budget and show customer billing separately. That distinction helps teams review exposure before every supplier bill has arrived.

  • Review operational, financial, and committed costs as distinct views.
  • Trace project financial activity through linked transactions.
  • Compare the planned budget with recognized financial costs.

Coordinate time and resources

Assign resources to project work, review availability and utilization, and capture time entries against the project. Approval and rejection steps support timesheet review before eligible time is used for billing. Resource-use records add context about the people and equipment contributing to delivery.

  • Review resource assignments, availability, and utilization.
  • Keep billable time and approval status visible.
  • Record project resource usage alongside delivery activity.

Manage changes without losing the original agreement

Capture scope changes as change orders and move them through the relevant review process. Keep project files, daily logs, and task activity available so discussions about extra work have context. Your team can review changes alongside the budget and commercial records.

  • Track change-order status and the work being changed.
  • Keep project files and daily records with the project.
  • Review the effect of changing scope before the next delivery or billing decision.

Bill the work using the right method

Support time-based, fixed-amount, milestone, and progress billing. Review what is eligible to bill, what has already been invoiced, and the current contract context. For projects with retainage, keep withheld and released amounts visible as billing progresses.

  • Bill approved, billable time or achieved, unbilled milestones.
  • Review cumulative progress and previously billed amounts.
  • Track retainage outstanding and its release through project billing.

From agreed scope to customer billing

Keep delivery and financial progress connected

A custom equipment project can begin with a template and budget, move through engineering and delivery milestones, and finish with billing tied to the work performed.

  1. 01

    Define the project

    Create the structure, assign the customer and project reference, set milestones, and establish the budget and billing method.

  2. 02

    Plan the work

    Sequence tasks and dependencies, assign resources, and review the commitments needed to support delivery.

  3. 03

    Track and adjust

    Capture time and resource use, review costs against the budget, and record changes as the project develops.

  4. 04

    Review and bill

    Check eligible time or milestones, progress, and previous invoices. Create the appropriate bill and keep the financial summary current.

For work that carries a scope, a budget, and a deadline

Keep manufacturing and distribution projects connected to the wider business while supporting other forms of project delivery.

Custom and engineer-to-order manufacturing

Coordinate engineering tasks, customer milestones, project budgets, and the financial activity associated with a custom build. Review scope changes and costs with the delivery schedule, then bill using the project’s commercial terms.

Distributors delivering customer projects

Manage customer work that combines equipment or product supply with coordination, installation, or other project activity. Track the overall budget, commitments, and milestones alongside the operational transactions.

Installation, engineering, and internal initiatives

Use templates, resources, time records, and change orders to coordinate work across teams. Customer projects can connect to billing; internal initiatives can use the same planning and cost-review structure.

Questions about project management in ianaiERP

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.
