This article explains how to report back on quantity contracts in Next Mobile, covering both cost tracking and progress reporting workflows. It outlines the two-part reporting process — logging hours, machinery, and materials on a work order, and reporting project progress through the Diary module — and provides step-by-step instructions for completing progress reporting on a mobile device.
When quantity contracts are involved in a project, the reporting process has two distinct parts:
Reporting Hours, Machinery, and Materials to Track Actual Project Costs: All mobile users handle this part by following the standard routine for mobile reporting in Next.
Reporting Project Progress: The quantities you report form the basis for tracking the quantity list and billing — particularly when performed quantities are invoiced. This should be carried out by a designated person or role, such as a site manager, foreman, or equivalent. If everyone on site reports progress individually, there's a risk of duplicate reporting.
Reporting Time and Costs
Hours, tools, machinery, equipment, and other costs are all reported on work order 1 (Time & Costs) in the example. All costs are gathered on the same work order.
This is also where you book any supplier invoices, as long as they are not related to extra work. For more information on mobile reporting, refer to the quick guide for reporting in Next Mobile.
