To prepare the system, below is a brief introduction to the project function in the Realtimme Cloud system.

Step 1/3: At Accounts Setup, click on Chart of Accounts. If your project involves materials(stocks) to be used in the project (Example construction, interior design, electrical installation)
             you will need a material cost account (Pre-set as M-P0099-1) as part of your cost of goods used.

 

Why do you need material cost accounts (Cost of sales)?

When goods or materials are purchased, they are stored in a warehouse or store first. When physical materials are transferred to the project site, the material cost must also be charged to the project.
when stocks are drawn out to the site, user will assign the cost to the project and will appear as material cost in each project's profit and Loss using Stock journal module.
