What is covered
What Sage 300 PJC does for project-based businesses
Project and Job Costing in Sage 300 is built for businesses where profitability is measured at the contract or project level rather than just in aggregate financial statements. Each project has its own budget, cost categories, billing schedule, and revenue recognition rules.
Costs flow into projects from multiple sources automatically. Material purchases from the Purchase Orders module, labour hours from Payroll, subcontractor invoices from Accounts Payable, and equipment charges can all be allocated to specific projects and cost categories. This provides project managers with a current view of actual costs versus budget at any time during the project.
For construction businesses in BC, Sage 300 PJC handles holdback tracking per contract. Holdback amounts are tracked separately from regular receivables and can be released when the contractual conditions, such as substantial completion or statutory lien periods, are satisfied. This is a common requirement for BC general contractors and subcontractors working under the Builders Lien Act.
Billing in Sage 300 PJC can follow different methods depending on the contract type. Time and materials contracts generate invoices based on actual hours and costs plus markup. Fixed-price contracts can be billed on progress milestones or percentage of completion. The billing method is set per project and drives how invoices are created in the Accounts Receivable module.
