Project Lines maintain

  • Planning Information
    • Effort, Start/End date
    • Revenue info, e.g., Average Billing Rate, Fixed Price
    • Cost info, e.g., Cost Rate, Cost Budget
  • Actual Information (if time/expense is approved)
    • Start/End, Billable/Non-Billable Effort and Amount, Invoiced Amount
  • Current Information (when time/expense items are entered)
    • Effort, Est, Revenue and Cost Amount, Margin

Project lines can be allocated to a dedicated Resource or multiple resources.

You can create Salesforce Tasks or Events for Project Line allocations.
