Business Central for Project & Service Businesses

If you sell projects, profit lives in job costing, WIP and billing discipline. We set up Business Central Projects so every hour, purchase and invoice lands on the right job.

Capabilities

What we set up for project businesses

  • Project budgets and planning lines

  • Timesheets and resources

  • Job costing and work in process (WIP)

  • Milestone, fixed-price and time-and-materials billing

  • Service orders and contracts

  • Approval workflows with Power Automate

Where projects go wrong

Getting projects right in Business Central

  1. Project structure. Tasks set up to match how you quote and bill.

  2. Cost capture. Time, purchases and inventory land on the project as they happen.

  3. WIP method. Chosen with your accountant before go-live, not after year-end.

  4. Billing. Invoices generated from planning lines instead of rebuilt in spreadsheets.

Profitability you can see per project

Engineering, installation, field service and professional service companies use Business Central Projects to see budget versus actual on every job. We design it so project managers trust the numbers.
