Projects is NEXOS CORE’s project-management module for delivering scoped client engagements (implementations, migrations, buildouts) rather than break-fix tickets. Work is organized into a WBS task hierarchy, tracked across the PMP process groups, and measured with job costing and earned value management. Each project ties to a company (and optionally a contract and site), a project manager, a team with cost and billing rates, budgets, milestones, risks, and client-signable change orders. Open projects at /projects, or the kanban board at /projects/board.

​
When to use it

  • Deliver scoped client engagements with a plan and a budget.
  • Track budget-vs-actual job costing across labor, materials, subcontractor, travel, and overhead.
  • Watch schedule and cost performance (EVM: SPI/CPI, EAC forecasting).
  • Run formal change control with client e-signature on change orders.
  • Bill projects as Time & Materials, Fixed Price, or Milestone-based.

​
Structure

  • Tasks & WBS — a hierarchy of tasks with WBS codes, estimated/actual hours and cost, percent complete, and PMI-style dependencies (finish-to-start and the other three) with lag.
  • Milestones — including billing milestones with an amount.
  • Team — members with cost rate, billing-rate override, and allocation.
  • Budget, expenses, and POs — budget by category, with expense approve/reject and PO approve/receive.
  • Risk register — probability × impact scoring with response strategy.
  • Stakeholders, notes, lessons learned, plus Gantt and profitability views.

​
Job costing and earned value

The job-costing view rolls up labor (time entries × member cost rate), expenses by category, received-PO cost, and overhead into total cost, gross margin, and budget variance. Earned value produces a snapshot on demand: BAC (budget), PV (planned value), EV (earned value), and AC (actual cost), plus the derived metrics — SV/CV, SPI, CPI, EAC, ETC, VAC, and percent complete.
EVM snapshots are generated on demand, not on a schedule — trigger a snapshot to capture the current numbers.

​
Change control

Raise a change request; if it’s over your internal-approval threshold it routes for approval, then the client signs it on a secure page (name, email, signature, IP captured). A change order can optionally create a PO automatically.

​
Good to know

  • Invoicing from a project isn’t built yet — billing modes are stored and selectable, but the project doesn’t itself produce invoices (the invoice action currently returns “not yet implemented”). Bill through the billing module or a contract for now.
