Introduction

Managing Projects with xTuple offers an introduction to the project and job costing related features available in various editions of xTuple ERP. This book is the first in a series of eBooks designed to focus on specific functional areas within xTuple ERP. If you are a project manager or a project accountant or a job shop manufacturer, then this eBook is designed for you. Use it to evaluate xTuple ERP for your business. Or better yet, keep it with you while you're implementing xTuple ERP—and then later when you are training new employees.

As you will see, the book is divided into four main categories:

  • Project basics

  • Time & expense

  • Project accounting

  • Job costing

We will devote a full chapter to each of these topics. Feel free to jump ahead if one of the topics is particularly interesting to you. Or keep reading in sequential order to get a more complete understanding for how projects and jobs work within xTuple.

While this eBook does attempt to provide a comprehensive perspective, it should be noted you can also find additional information from these other valuable resources:
