One of the most critical functions of a construction ERP solution is to capture, track, manage, invoice and reconcile costs. With eCMS, you can capture costs at defined intervals to identify potential cost variance and track these job costs on a regular basis  throughout the life of a project. It also allows you to view up-to-date information on the current cost status, related to each job, at any point in time. You can calculate estimated cost at completion (ECAC) using actual, projected, or estimated numbers to account for a variety of scenarios. The Job Cost Inquiry allows users to view online costs and income for a job, at varying levels of detail (labor hours, labor dollars, material, equipment, subcontract, overhead, etc.) with the ability to drill down to the transaction level.
