## Things to know

- If you need a project for a particular customer or service location, create the project before you start booking jobs. That way, you can book jobs for the project directly from the *Project* screen, keeping all information organized and in one place.
- If you've already booked at least one job for the project, you can create a project from the job record.

## Use cases

- If you're a Residential Service and Replacement business, create a project when:
  - An estimate sells and an install is booked.
  - A diagnostic requires a follow up install.
  - Doing a multi-trade install.
- If you're a Residential Construction business, create a project when:
  - Budget vs actual reporting is needed.
  - More than one invoice needs to be created for the work. For example, Progress billing.
  - Different job types are needed to finish work for a customer. For example, Rough In, Trim, Finish, and others.
- If you're a Commercial Service and Replacement business, create a project when:
  - Budget vs actual reporting is needed
  - More than one invoice is needed for the work. For example, Progress billing.
