Connect the accepted bid with project delivery, subcontractors and financial results.
Commercial projects bring together an estimate, a customer agreement and work delivered by several teams. A revised drawing can affect quantities, purchasing, subcontract scope and the next payment application. Construction ERP connects those decisions with the project budget, actual work and company books, giving commercial, project and finance teams a common starting point for the next review.
Preserve the accepted scope, quantities, assumptions and price when the project begins. Build its approved budget from the agreed cost breakdown. Later variations retain their own commercial decision so a pending claim cannot quietly expand the customer contract or spending authority.
Compare consumed materials, accepted subcontract work and accepted field effort with the budget. Keep unused site materials, remaining commitments and the reviewed forecast visible. A supplier payment changes the amount owed; it does not add the same work to project cost again.
Follow approved scope, agreed rates, completed work and independently accepted quantities. Match bills to that accepted work and track the remaining commitment, advances and retention. Teams can investigate a difference without treating a supplier's invoice as proof that the work happened.
Bring measured work, milestones, stored materials and customer certification together for the next application. Previously certified or billed work remains visible even when payment is outstanding. Installing material already included in progress changes its classification without charging the customer twice.
Review invoices, collections, retention and the separate revenue schedule alongside the project cost position. Each company keeps its own books and currency basis. Project managers can follow delivery while finance reviews the recognition evidence, current balances and close.

Compare current accepted ProjectContracts/SalesOrderLines with cumulative ProgressApplications, externally evidenced ProgressCertificates and conserved BillingObligations/BillingAllocations by contract and source currency; show certified-to-date, prior certified increments, active billing claims, gross billed, conditional/unconditional retention and eligible unbilled scope independently of paid cash, preserving the same stored-material amount through installation while allowing separately priced installation work and a separately assessed first revenue-recognition delta.
At one project/cost-code/currency cutoff, compare original and approved revised ProjectBudgets/ProjectBudgetLines with signed actual ProjectCostEntries/ProjectCostAllocations and the independently approved ProjectForecasts/ProjectForecastLines; forecast final cost equals the comparable actual expense plus disjoint RemainingCost only when both are known, while remaining commitments and owned unused materials are separately disclosed with their included/excluded forecast basis so they cannot be added twice.
Reconcile approved PurchaseOrderLines and SubcontractLines through ProjectCommitments, receipt or subcontract acceptance, SubcontractAccruals and BillMatches by supplier/project/cost code and source currency; show gross increases, reductions already included in net current authority, fulfilled scope, active claims and unperformed remainder separately from accepted expense, remaining accrual, billed AP and payment, with known-zero accepted work visible and unknown valuation unresolved.

Related questionEstimates and contracts, project costs, purchasing and subcontractors, site materials, in-house prefabrication, customer billing and each company’s local finance. The modules show how these parts connect from bid to final payment.
Related questionThe accepted estimate preserves its quantities, cost assumptions, offered price and revision. The approved project budget and customer contract retain their own purposes and owners. Later changes preserve the original baseline and apply only after the relevant review.
Related questionActual material consumption, accepted field effort, accepted subcontract work and eligible direct charges supply the cost sources. Materials still held in the warehouse or at an owned site remain inventory. Purchasing, supplier billing and payment do not each add the same cost again.
Related questionFollow agreed scope, rates, approved changes, work applications and independently accepted performance. Bills match the eligible accepted work, with advances, retention and remaining commitments tracked separately. Differences remain available for review before settlement.
Related questionThe scope supports fixed-price milestones or measured progress and unit-rate work. Applications preserve completed work, eligible stored materials, customer certification and previous billing. Contract terms determine advances and retention; a prior unpaid application does not make the same work billable again.
Related questionThe reviewed recognition schedule follows the contract’s performance obligations and selected output-progress or point-in-time evidence. Billing and collections retain their own effects. Finance reviews contract assets, liabilities and balances alongside the project result.
Related questionTrack the retained amount, its contractual conditions, current classification and release evidence. Releasing retention makes an existing amount eligible for the appropriate next step without creating a second sale or job cost. Rates, tax treatment and deadlines are agreed from the actual contract and company policy.
Related questionYes. Bills of material, routing and released work orders support actual materials, work, accepted finished output and cost reconciliation. Finished assemblies can move to site and enter project cost when used. The prefabrication process describes that flow.
Related questionEach company keeps its own ownership, approval authority and local books. Document, functional and settlement currencies remain explicit, with current balances and currency differences available for review. Additional consolidation, statutory and external connection requirements are agreed during implementation.
Related questionThe pricing page explains platform usage and the separately priced implementation work. Estimate usage from the records, imports, connected processes and assistant activity expected across your projects.
