ERPNext Projects Module
What the ERPNext projects module gives you
Projects & tasks
Break work into tasks with owners, dependencies and deadlines — templates make repeat projects instant.
Timesheets
Log hours against tasks from web or mobile; billable time flows straight into invoices.
Project costing
Material issues, purchases, payroll and expense claims book to the project as they happen.
Progress & Gantt views
Gantt, Kanban and calendar views show slippage early — no Friday status meeting needed.
Milestone billing
Invoice by milestone, percent-complete or time and material, direct from project data.
Profitability analytics
Margin per project, per customer and per phase on live numbers, not month-old exports.

How ERPNext projects works in practice
Every cost a project incurs — a stock issue, a subcontractor bill, an engineer’s afternoon — posts to that project the moment it is recorded anywhere in the system. Timesheets approved on Friday appear in the next invoice; a purchase for site materials shows in the project P&L the day it is received. Project managers stop compiling status decks and start managing exceptions, because percent-complete, cost-to-date and margin are always current.
Built for services and engineering teams
Fabricators, EPC contractors and service firms use it to keep scope, cost and cash on one rail. It draws on accounting, buying and HR inside the ERPNext platform; see our implementation service or the official ERPNext documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Can ERPNext projects bill by milestone?
Yes — milestone, percent-complete and time-and-material billing all generate sales invoices directly from project data.
Do timesheets drive payroll too?
Approved timesheets can feed both customer billing and salary computation for hourly staff, from one entry.
Can customers track progress?
A customer portal can expose task status and shared documents, keeping clients informed without extra reporting.
