	*'''Reports'''<br>There are also several other reports which can help you analyze activity at the project (i.e. contract) level, or summarize information, such as view all the Charges for a Contract, or report all open Tickets, Tasks, and Appointment for the Contract, all parts used for the project, etc.		*'''Reports'''<br>There are also several other reports which can help you analyze activity at the project (i.e. contract) level, or summarize information, such as view all the Charges for a Contract, or report all open Tickets, Tasks, and Appointment for the Contract, all parts used for the project, etc.



			'''Project Contracts''' are treated as one-off Contracts and therefore:

			* Project Contracts will not be included when you renew all Contracts for next month using the [[Recurring_Contracts\|Batch Copy Contracts wizard]].

			* Project Contracts can be excluded when invoicing using [[QuickBooks_Link\|QuickBooks]] or [[Xero_Link\|Xero Link]]. This way you can invoice Project Contract when the project is complete or when it reaches a certain milestone without having to worry that it will get invoiced as part of the regular batch invoicing procedure. <br>To configure the default setting visit the QuickBooks (or Xero) tab under the ''Tools > Options'' window and select whether to include Project Contracts or not. You can also control it each time you [[QuickBooks_Link_Invoice_Creation_Options#Batch_Invoice_Creation\|batch invoice]].
