Projects

Description:  There are five types of projects in InFocus.  They are:

1. Billable Projects  - Projects that can be invoiced and require a client.

2. Indirect Projects - Projects that are overhead projects. They can be charged to but, never invoiced.

3. Opportunities - Opportunities are similar to indirect projects. However, they are client-related, and charges can be placed on hold. If an opportunity becomes a billable project, the charges on hold can then be either billed or written off.

4. Projection - A projection cannot receive charges. Projections are used to record estimated revenue for future endeavors. Projects can always change their type.

5. Plan - Plans cannot receive charges. Plans only exist for the purpose of project planning.

Note - All projects can have an unlimited breakdown (WBS). You can assign names, such as phase and task, to the levels of the WBS. An entire WBS can be created from a template project. Portions of the WBS can be constructed from system WBS templates.
