Project Management Module

Control expenditures on major projects with Global Shop Solutions Project Management. Global Shop Solutions Project Management is designed for companies with substantial projects that run for extended periods of time. Global Shop Solutions Project Management ties together all work orders on a project.

Thorough project reporting capabilities keep costs in line through a cutoff date by a project group or work order. The entire report can be saved to history, reprinted, and shown in summary.

The primary project ties work orders to sales orders. Projects can be viewed by work order number or by WBS (work breakdown structure).
