Project Profitability in Odoo 13

In any kind of business firm, it is necessary to know the profitability of a project. The services provided in a project invoiced based on ordered quantity or on the basis of timesheets cost of an employee. Considering all of the pipeline having an overview of profitability overwork could help us to decide whether we should continue the service or not. 


Timesheets are also important, this provides the time spent hours by the employee on the project. So that they can measure the planned project over the actual project in progress. Project profitability can be effectively calculated when every employee completed their timesheets.


Odoo enables this by Project and Timesheets module. Firstly, install both modules from Odoo Apps.


Open the project module, it leads to a dashboard where one can see all created projects.

There may have tasks, Overview, subtasks and Planning for each project. At the Dashboard itself, one can identify the number of tasks in the project.


TASKS: Task is a piece of the project that can be assigned to employees to perform a portion of the project. A task can be again split into sub-tasks.


PLANNING: Planning is the same as forecast in Odoo 12. It refers to the assumed time to complete each task.


OVERVIEW: Overview is the overall report of the project in accordance with its timesheets and sales order. It shows the complete details of the project like timesheet hours, forecast, profitability, etc.

Here one can identify the profitability under overview. There are three factors that the  profitability of a project mainly depends on:


1.Invoiced 

Suppose a project has a sale order and may be invoiced fully when the invoicing policy is based on the ordered quantity and partially invoice when the invoicing policy is based on the timesheets cost of the employee. The amount of invoiced can be viewed as ‘ invoiced. ‘


2.To invoice

A project has a sale order and the timesheet is updated by the employee. That is the service to the customer was delivered, but not invoiced. This is shown as ‘To invoice’.


3.Timesheet costs

The amount that the organization spent on the project is explained by Timesheet’s cost. Timesheet cost is the product of delivered quantity and employee timesheet costs

 

Timesheet cost = Delivered quantity * Employee timesheet cost

 

Profitability calculation:

 

Profitability =  Invoiced + To invoice – Timesheet costs

Here the invoiced amount is 19,800/- rs, amount to invoice is 9,900/-rs and timesheet costs 12,500/- rs. Thus profitability can be calculated as per the above equation, which is 17,200/- rs.


Profitability Using the analytic account

Using an analytical account one can also find profitability. To enable this feature one has to check in ‘Analytic Accounting’ in the settings of Account module.
