This article describes how to work with booked costs and revenues on your projects in Next Project.
Under the tab Book Cost/revenue, you will find all booked costs and revenues on the project. Costs include internal records for working hours and travel, but also records from the financial system in the form of e.g. supplier invoices and receipts etc. Under revenue there are, for example, customer invoice records.
