The Project Invoicing module allows you to invoice charges to a job according to variable criteria, allowing fast, flexible and simple invoice or draft invoice creation for customer projects and jobs. It lets the user choose the amount to invoice, and the value of work in progress to be written off. Whilst the module will primarily be used where a job spans over a period of time, and is invoiced in stages, it can also be used for smaller jobs where an itemised invoice is needed.

The module helps speed up accurate and professional invoice procedures, allowing the business to free-up valuable time resources and provide confidence in invoicing accuracy.

The module simplifies the procedure by using a step-by-step Wizard which requests relevant variable criteria before creating the invoice.

The Project Invoicing wizard requests variable criteria, such as:

Snapshot Report Writer

For those who wish to design their own reports easily without purchasing Crystal Reports, ABM has introduced the Snapshot Report Writer. A very easy to use tool for producing custom reports directly into Microsoft® Excel. Snapshot requires no technical knowledge, just point and click labels familiar to business people. Although Snapshot built for users who have no technical knowledge, it also has greater inbuilt flexibility for users who have a little knowledge of SQL databases and queries.

Subcontractor Claims

The module is designed for entry of subcontractor claims against a job or project. This allows you to set up subcontractors as suppliers in the system and assign them to specific jobs or projects, allowing the processing of interim claims submitted from subcontractors for the work done so far. A claim received by the main contractor is then processed through the subcontractors claim form, and is processed as an invoice from that subcontractor.

Progress claims are processed easily and include functions such as:

Flag individual subcontractors as C2 or non C2

If you are engaged as a sub-contractor to a main contractor you are obliged to provide a C2 certificate. If not then tax at 35% will be deducted on each payment and remitted directly to the Revenue Commissioners.

Retention management

If you are the sub-contrator, ABM will allow you produce interim payment applications to the main contractor.  For nominated sub-contractors ABM accurately records retention amounts retained by the main contractor and will prompt for the release of any balance of the retentions amount at the end of the retention period.
