SAP Business One for Project Management

Project Management / Job Costing

The Projects and Job Costing add-on is a solution designed and written solely for SAP Business One. In addition, the entire architecture can be hosted in Frontline’s private cloud, in a public cloud such as AWS or on your own business premises.

Frontline applies our tried and tested implementation methodology to the Projects and Job Costing Add-on for SAP Business One, ensuring that it fits your business processes and integrates seamlessly into your IT environment.

We’ve been implementing manufacturing-based ERP solutions for our customers longer than any other SAP Business One partner in the UK and Ireland and we have more manufacturing experience than any other SAP Business One reseller.

Our Projects add-on enables you to access:

Accurate Estimating

With the Projects Add On for SAP Business One, the entire quotation process takes into account resources, materials, time, and can be used as the basis for producing a quotation or proposal for your customers.

Accurate Budget vs. Actual

Because the presales engagement captures the entire estimate in the system, once the order is placed on SAP, all job costs can be compared against the original budget, allowing you to measure the accuracy of your estimates over time.

Gantt Chart for Project Resourcing and Planning

The graphical drag and drop planning tool allows you to allocate resources for all project elements across teams and WorkCentres; including planning for production orders through the manufacturing process.

Capacity Planning of Departments, Labour and Machines

As well as allocating resources to different project elements, the Gantt chart functionality gives the user a view of capacity within a team or department, as well as the ability to drill down to an individual or machine for task allocation, providing a top down view across all projects/resources.

Just-in-Time Material Planning

Because the projects module is aware of the stock availability and lead times for materials in SAP Business One, it provides the user with a view of demand for materials involved in a project and flags the materials for purchase so they arrive in time for consumption on the project, therefore reducing the stock holding.

Increased Project Margins

Recovery of additional out of scope requests, capture of time and materials data accurately against each project and accurate estimating for all quotations all help to increase the profitability of each and every project you undertake.

Milestone Billing

Control the cash flow and project income; the solution allows invoice terms to be defined per project, and can be Time & Materials or Fixed Price allocated and split across multiple instalments or project milestones.
