The picture shows the invoices behind the amounts. Click on an invoice to see more information about it. If there is a red sign in the DUE column, the invoice is overdue. Click on the sheet on the right to see the scanned invoice in Pdf format.

General information

This tab shows all project information entered at the time of registration or transferred from the client. If you want to change something, click Edit. The window is the same as when entering a new project. If nothing is registered on the project you can, if you want, delete it.

Authorised

This tab tells who the project manager and client manager are. If the project has limited access you can see here which ones of the employees have access.

Price

The price tab contains information of how the project is priced divided into fees, purchases and other.

First Marathon tells if there is a fixed price for fees, purchases and/or other.

Then you can see if there are any exceptions from the ordinary rates. The special prices cannot be changed in this tab (They have to be edited by an administrator). ****/*** means that the special pricing concerns all employees and job codes.

The example above shows that all employees, except Carl Eriksson, cost 1 500 on all codes. Carl Eriksson costs normally 1 200, but on code 010 his rate is 1 000.

If you use pricing per job code, you can’t use special hourly rate. In those cases Marathon says that he price is fetched from the code.

Purchases have defined mark-ups per code for different kinds of purchases. Concerning Other in the example above, Marathon tells that there is a fixed price and that the unit prices are fetched from the codes.

Cost estimate

The tab can be used not only to create estimates, but also for writing quotations.

Confirm	You can mark an estimate as Confirmed. The estimate will be marked with a confirmation date and user name of the confirmer. A parameter in the system(Base registers/Pro/Parameters/Project estimate) defines whether an estimate must be confirmed or not in order to be included in calculations.
Delete confirmation	You can also cancel a confirmation- if you must do changes in the estimate. If you confirm the budget again after the cancellation, new date and user name will show on it.
Activate	Possibility to activate a deactivated estimate
Deactivate	If a project has many estimates you can deactivate the revisions you want to exclude from the project analysis, reports, etc.

Click New to create a new estimate. The estimate has separate tabs for Fees, Purchases, Other and Text & Currency. There are no specific rules of what it must include, you can choose to budget on optional detail leve

Estimate text before	Text that has been written in the Estimate text before-field in the texttab.
Page break after heading	Tick the box if you want a leaf with project information separately from the actual budget.
Fee/Purchases/Other	Select detail level in the drop-down menus. If you e.g. select Code/description, the estimate will be divided in codes and you can see comments for each code. If you have just set fixed amounts for fees/purchases/other, Description is the best printing alternative. Note, that even if you have created a very detailed budget, you can still print out one more compressed, e.g. on category level.
Estimate text after	The text that has been written in the field Estimate text after in the tab Text.
Show hours	Select if you want to see number of hours for the fee.

Open purchase order	Select open purchase order to make complementary additions to the order.

Create text by following instructions in the chapter above (1. New invoice- only text).
