Hi everyone,
We're a project-based company and make extensive use of the Jobs/Projects module in Business Central.
I'm trying to determine our actual month-end working capital by individual project so that management can better understand our financing requirements.
The goal is to answer questions such as:
-
Which projects are consuming working capital?
-
Which projects are generating cash?
-
If we exclude the working capital impact of certain large projects, would we still require external financing?
I'm looking for a way to calculate working capital at the project level, ideally including items such as:
-
Project WIP
-
Accounts Receivable related to the project
-
Accounts Payable related to the project
-
Inventory (where applicable)
-
Customer advances/prepayments
-
Vendor commitments or accrued costs (if relevant)
Has anyone successfully built project-level working capital reporting in Business Central?
Specifically:
-
Is there a standard report or analysis that can be adapted?
-
Are you using dimensions instead of relying solely on Jobs?
-
How do you allocate A/R and A/P back to individual projects?
-
Have you built this in Power BI or directly in Business Central?
-
Are there any ISV solutions that provide project cash flow or project working capital reporting?
I'd appreciate hearing how others have approached this, particularly companies with a large number of active projects where understanding project-specific financing requirements is important.
Thanks in advance!
