Business bundle · Project, margin and cash

A change order shows up as a margin and cash effect immediately, not six weeks later.

For project-driven organisations that want to know which project actually earns money and what that means for liquidity.

The chain

What this entry point closes

An entry point is a chain that is manual work today — not a change of systems.

01 · Project event

A delay, a change order, a remaining-cost correction — the record that starts it.

02 · EAC

Remaining cost and estimate at completion, method-consistent and traceable.

03 · Margin

The bridge from as-sold to as-delivered, with a cause per deviation.

04 · Billing

What becomes billable from it, and what does not yet.

05 · Cash

When the money arrives and what is tied up until then.

06 · Forecast

The effect in the liquidity path, not first in the monthly report.

07 · Decision

Who acts, by when, with which expected effect.

08 · Verified result

Expected against actual effect, attributed to the project.

Different afterwards

A change order, a delay or a remaining-cost correction shows up as a margin and cash effect immediately, instead of six weeks later in reporting.

Management questions

How you know this entry point fits

Which projects actually earn money? What does this milestone shift mean for our cash? What work have we delivered that nobody ordered and paid for?
Domains involved

Which domains take part in this chain

Participation, not scope: no domain is taken over by a bundle, and the shared foundation is part of every entry point.

Project finance
Margin and profitability
Finance Control Tower

The foundation — finance data fabric, identity and access governance, data lifecycle and records, platform and administration — is not bought separately. Without a shared data model and an enforced permission model, none of the business domains work.

The boundary

What stays in your systems

No replacement as a precondition. Your systems stay authoritative for transaction, posting and close; FinanceOS connects context, control, decision and evidence across them.

ERP and ledger

Transaction, posting, close.

Banks

Accounts, payments, settlement.

DMS and CLM

Storage, authoring, signature.

PSA and payroll

Project delivery, time capture, payroll.

Other entry points

Five other chains, depending on where you start

Cash and payments For organisations with several banks, several entities and a cash position that takes too long.
Document, exception and evidence For organisations under audit pressure, with high document volume and a close that depends on individual people.
Group and intercompany For organisations with an acquisition history, where two or three ERPs run in parallel and are meant to keep running for a while.
Contract and obligation For organisations with many framework, lease and rental contracts whose financial consequences live in deadline lists today.
Planning and steering For organisations where planning works and effect measurement is missing: measures get decided but not followed through.
