# Projects & field

> Projects with earned-value job costing and client-signed change orders, work orders for field crews, time tracking with QuickBooks push, and the Team & employees record all land in NEXOS CORE.

End-of-week ship, extending the [v1.14.x platform](/changelog/2026-07-01). Four
new product areas cover scoped project delivery, field execution, live time
capture, and the people running it all.

## New features

### Projects

PMP-aligned project management for scoped client engagements
(implementations, migrations, buildouts). Organize work into a WBS task
hierarchy with dependencies and milestones, assign a team with cost and billing
rates, and track budget-vs-actual **job costing** across labor, materials,
subcontractor, travel, and overhead. **Earned value** produces on-demand
snapshots — BAC, PV, EV, AC, SPI, CPI, EAC, and VAC — for schedule and cost
performance. Run formal **change control** with client e-signature on change
orders (name, email, signature, IP captured), with an optional auto-PO on
approval. Includes Gantt, kanban, risk register, stakeholders, notes, lessons
learned, and profitability views. See [Projects](/project/index).

### Work orders

Field-execution records for construction and trades — the trades equivalent of a
helpdesk ticket. Each work order tracks a job at a physical site from
mobilization through closeout across trade-specific phases (**mobilize →
rough-in → trim-out → termination → testing → punch list → closeout →
complete**). Assign a crew with roles; when a tech **checks in**, their time
starts, and check-out writes a billable time entry using role bill/cost rates
and rolls hours and cost up to the work order automatically. Capture **daily
logs** (weather, work performed, materials, delays, safety), run a **punch
list** of deficiencies, and link work orders to a company, project, bid, and
site survey. See [Work orders](/workorder/index).

### Time tracking

Live multi-timers and weekly timesheets. Start a **timer** against a ticket,
project task, or site survey — several can run at once, with one focused in the
header and the rest ticking in the background. Stopping captures work type,
billing role, contract, and product, draws down contract block-hours or
retainer coverage automatically, and writes a unified time entry. Entries roll
into a **Monday–Sunday timesheet** for submit, approve, and reject with reason;
approved sheets push to **QuickBooks Online** or export to CSV for payroll. See
[Time tracking](/time/index).

### Team & employees

A lightweight HR record that extends each internal user with the operational
data the rest of the platform needs — job title, department, employment type,
**skills and certifications** (with proficiency and expiry), **pay rates**
(hourly, salary, per-diem, or flat, with base and overtime and history), **role
rates** (bill rate plus employee cost rate with computed margin), a 7-day
**availability template**, and **time-off** requests. Feeds [Dispatch](/dispatch/index)
(skills for AI tech-matching, availability for load balancing),
[Time tracking](/time/index), and [work orders](/workorder/index) (role and cost
rates for job costing). See [Team & employees](/employee/index).

## Known limitations

* **Projects** — invoicing directly from a project isn't built yet; billing
  modes (T\&M, Fixed Price, Milestone) are stored, but generate the invoice from
  [Quotes & invoices](/billing/index) or the contract. EVM snapshots are
  generated on demand, not on a schedule.
* **Work orders** — client e-sign-off on closeout isn't available yet; advance
  the phase to complete instead. Punch-item photo attachments aren't wired yet.
* **Time tracking** — QuickBooks push is optional and best-effort; if it isn't
  configured or a push fails, the timesheet stays **Approved** (not Pushed) and
  the error is recorded for retry — approval is never blocked.
* **Team & employees** — this is a system of record only; no payroll processing
  or PTO accrual math.

Earlier [known limitations from v1.14.x](/changelog/2026-07-01#known-limitations),
[week of June 29](/changelog/2026-07-02#known-limitations), and the
[Quotes, billing & contracts ship](/changelog/2026-07-02-quotes-billing#known-limitations)
remain unchanged.
