### Managing time
ERPNext uses [Time Log]({{docs_base_url}}/user/guides/projects/time-log.html) to track the progress of a Project.

<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Total Expense Claim" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_total_expense_claim.png">
### Cost Center
You can make a [Cost Center]({{docs_base_url}}/user/guides/accounts/setup/cost-center.html) against a Project or use an existing cost center to track all expenses made against that project.

###Project Costing
The Project Costing section helps you track the time and expenses incurred against the project.

* Gross Margin is the difference between Total Costing Amount and Total Billing Amount
###Billing
You can make/link a [Sales Order]({{docs_base_url}}/user/guides/selling/sales-order.html) against a project. Once linked you can use the standard sales module to bill your customer against the Project.
