Cost control

Know where your project cost goes before it overruns the budget

Control the cost of each project: budget against actual and committed, cost codes, earned value (SPI, CPI), cash flow forecast, profit per certificate, alerts.

What is Cost control in Ta3mir?

A budget for every project on cost codes, with its original amount, approved transfers and revised value, compared with what is committed and what was actually spent, then earned value, a cash flow forecast and profit and loss per certificate, with alerts when a variance crosses the limits you set.

Budget against actual

Each line keeps its original budget, approved transfers between lines and a revised value, next to what approved purchase requests and orders commit and what was actually spent, so you see the variance line by line.

Earned value: SPI and CPI

Schedule and cost performance indices computed on the approved baseline, with the estimate at completion (EAC).

Monthly cash flow

Planned against actual cash in and out for every month, and a 12-month spending forecast.

Profit and loss per certificate

Compare what each certificate earns with its actual cost, and check the BOQ against what was spent to catch losing items before the project ends.

Perks of Cost control

Better decisions start with reliable cost figures for every project, seen before a variance grows.

Unified cost codes

A cost-code tree for labour, materials, equipment, subcontracts and overheads that budgets and transactions share.

Committed before spent

Approved purchase requests and purchase orders show as a commitment on the line before the money goes out.

Cost alerts

Variance limits you set for your account, and an alert when any project crosses them.

Expenses with receipts

Record site and office expenses and attach a photo of the receipt to each one.

Currencies and exchange rates

Record costs in several currencies; the system flags any amount without a configured exchange rate.

Automatic posting from modules

Approved certificates, payroll runs and purchases reach the project cost automatically; invoices and journal entries live on the accounting page.
