Project Profitability Report

The Project Profitability Report provides a quick overview of a project’s earnings as well as the paid and receivable amounts within a certain time frame. This report can be generated from the Projects or Quotes page. This article will explain how to generate the Project Profitability Report from the Projects page.

1. Navigate to the Projects page.

2. Select “Reports.”

7. The “Define Grouping for the Report” window will appear.

8. Click to select a field from the “Fields that can be used for grouping” section.

10. The field will appear in the “Report currently groups on these fields...” section.

11. If desired, check the "Adjust Value" or "Page Break" box to modify the grouping.

• Adjust Value- this will generate the grouping’s specific dollar amounts. For example, if grouping by “Manufacturer (list)” with the adjust values checkbox checked, any dollar amounts on the report will show the dollar amount for that manufacturer only. If left unchecked, the dollar amounts on the report will show total amounts for the entire project.
