Project cost
Approved Bills are added to the cost in the profit report. When all bills have been received and a Purchase order is marked as bill received the purchase order will no longer be added to the project cost.
Only approved purchase orders are included on the profit report, when purchase orders are marked as bill received they are no longer included in the cost.
