Hi All,

I am after some advice. We currently use projects in SAGE 50 for costing purposes. We have, in the past had 5 or 6 projects (installation of different energy saving measures) under one contract for which we have separated out the costs & revenues. The business has grown in the last 12 months and we now have several different contracts under which these projects (energy saving measures) fall.

We want to be able to look at the profitability of the projects on each contact, as each tender is different which means the margins will be different contract to contract.

I looked at using projects and child projects however Auto Entry doesn't allow for child projects. It does allow for departments though. 

My question is, would I be correct in thinking that I would need to use departments for the contract, and then a project number for each energy saving measure on each contract? 

Say We install solar on four contracts, would that be one project number but costed to a different department? or would each project needs its own number within all of the contracts?

Id be grateful for any help / advice you can throw my way. 

Thank you!
