A beginner user's experience

I enter construction invoices as bills in payables, and track payments. I enter subcontracts and link to projects and vendors. I enter compliance documents and link to vendors, projects, customers and subcontracts. I release retainage invoices using the Release AP Retainage module. I run reports in the Bills and Adjustments , the Release AP Retainage, and Complaince document modules.

Soon we will be able to utilize compliance to track Certificates of Insurance expiration dates for both internal and external customers -- an important component of projects.

Construction projects have a customer, a client (our company), subcontractors, multiple contracts, and many documents to track such as invoices for payments and contractual documents like change orders and lien waivers and compliance documents like COI's and W-9's. From beginning to end, there are many unforeseen changes that happen along the way. Being able to add and subtract components to different modules, as well as update documents without being blocked or getting error messages is important. Acumatica meets the basic needs, but needs work to find the flexibility and additional work arounds needed to absorb changes and updates.
