Labor Project Maintenance

Use Labor Project Maintenance to create projects, which allow you to track costs, labor and work done for projects that your organization is doing.  Projects can be assigned to work orders so that you can track the progress of a project.  Projects can also be associated with time entries.  Projects can be viewed in the Service Management view, Work Orders view, Scheduler and in Work Order Entry.  

Note:  Do not confuse Labor Project Maintenance with Project Maintenance.  Labor projects pertain to Time Entry and Projects generally are associated with loan programs.
