• Detailed cost information to monitor project performance in a productivity-enhancing format, and enables to track the total cost of running the business.
Oracle Project Billing
• Oracle Project Billing enables enterprises to simplify customer invoicing, streamline corporate cash flow, and measure the profitability of contract projects.
• Using configurable accounting rules, Oracle Project Billing extends Oracle Project Costing functionality by processing actual costs, creating corresponding accounting entries for revenue accrual to satisfy corporate finance requirements, and creating customer invoices for project work.
