How to Track the Profitability of Your Project Using Analytic Accounting in Odoo 17

Functional Odoo 17

Any organization's project management depends heavily on its ability to conduct activities systematically. A corporation will profit from having a defined strategy for each step of the project before it begins, as this will lessen work pressure and planning expenses. You may plan and track different project operations to increase your company's operational transparency with a good project management system. With effective features that are tailored to your needs, the Odoo Project module guarantees effective project administration. This module will help you achieve excellence in all project-related operations from beginning to end.

You can quickly determine a project's profitability with Odoo. No matter how big or little a project is, it is critical to understand profitability. It will assist you in determining whether or not to move forward with the project. After creating project invoices, the project's profitability can be determined. Invoices might be produced based on the quantity ordered, the accomplishment of milestones, or the timesheets of the designated workers. By subtracting the entire project cost from the total amount invoiced, one can calculate the profitability.

Within the Project module's Settings menu, you will discover the Profitability option to activate.

Turn this feature on to keep tabs on your project's expenses and earnings. An analysis account with the same name as the project will be established in this module when you start a new project. This analytical account will contain the project's expenses and earnings. You can quickly determine whether the project is profitable by estimating the profitability using the recorded cost and income.

Open the Odoo Project module and start a new project.

Upon starting a new project, you can proceed to make a sales order and set it up in the project window so that timesheets can be connected to the order to produce invoices. You can add the project as a service product and choose the Invoicing Policy as Fixed Price/Prepaid, Based on Milestones, or Timesheets as needed before generating a sales order.

Navigate to the Sales module and choose the Orders option to generate a sales order.

Now that the sales order has been generated for the project, it may be connected to it as indicated below in the Settings tab's Default Sales Order Item field.

The Sold number of units can be viewed by scrolling down.

The information regarding the recorded Effective hours and Remaining hours can be seen on the Total Sold tab. Your profit from this project is shown on the Profitability tab. If a budget has been set up for the project, you may view the expected budget under this page. This is where you may view the analytical account's documented costs and revenues. After deducting costs and expenses from the project's recorded revenue, the project's overall margin is determined. The project is successful if the margin value is positive. We can determine that the project is a loss if the value is negative.

You can utilize the Gross Margin smart button from the project editing window to obtain a report of the expenses and income listed in the analytical account for that specific project.
