In Business Central, you can perform common project management tasks, such as configuring a job and scheduling a resource, as well as providing the information needed to manage budgets and monitor progress. You can track machine and employee hours on the project by using time sheets. As a project manager, you have a good overview, not only of individual jobs, but also of the allocation of employees, machinery and other resources being used in all projects.
Before you can use Business Central to manage projects, you must set up resources, time sheets, and jobs. For more information, see Setting Up Project Management.
The following sequence of tasks describes, with links to the topics that describe them.
Review and record usage on various parts of your job, which is automatically updated as you modify and transfer information from job planning lines to job journals or job invoices for posting.
Set up your resources and the related costs and prices, either for individual resources, resource groups, or for all available resources of the company.
To correctly manage resource activities, you must set up your resources and the related costs and prices. The job-related prices, discounts, and cost factor rules are set up on the job card. You can specify the costs and prices for individual resources, resource groups, or all available resources of the company.
When resources are used or sold in a job, the prices and costs associated with them are retrieved from the information that you set up.
You specify the default amount per hour when the resource is created. For example, if you use a specific machine on a job for five hours, the job would be calculated based on the amount per hour.
Create a card for each resource that you want to use in projects.
Enable resources to report time usage for an individual or a machine and enable a manager to review the usage and its allocation.
Time sheets in Business Central handle time registration in weekly increments of seven days. You can use them to track the time used on projects, and you can use them to record simple resource time registration. Before you can use time sheets, you must specify which users will submit time sheets and how you want to configure time sheets.

The assisted setup guide takes you through the following steps:
At the end of the setup guide, you can choose to let Business Central create time sheets based on your configuration.

As a project manager, you can set up jobs that define each of the projects that you manage in Business Central. On the Jobs Setup page, you must specify how you want to use certain job features.
For each job, you then specify individual job cards with information about prices for job items, job resources, and job G/L accounts, and you must set up job posting groups.
