- Anytime Invoice Creation
The module speeds up accurate and professional invoice procedures at any

resources and provide confidence in invoicing accuracy. - Effortless Invoicing
The module simplifies the procedure by using a step-by-step Wizard which
requests relevant variable criteria before creating the invoice. - Flexible Invoicing
Choose your own invoice structure and display options, select which
charges to include and finalise retention amounts on projects. Build your
invoice to suit. - Quote Generating
Use the module to generate quotes or draft invoices, have your clients
accept them, then process the same quote as an invoice already loaded on
your system. Improve the workflow from quote to invoice processing.
- Cost tracking
Subcontractor work is entered by the job, which is then separated into cost centres and stages for easy identification of progress costs. Details such as work and tax rates may be entered and used for claim calculations. - Claims Processing
Flexibility in the handling of progress claims means that subcontractor costs can be processed in cumulative or period claim amounts, and can easily adjust for and manage variations as they occur such as discounts. Each claim is also provided with a unique reference number for tracking purposes. - Retention Management
If you are the subcontractor, ABM will allow you to produce interim payment applications to the main contractor. For nominated subcontractors or main contractors, ABM accurately records retention amounts retained by the main contractor and will prompt for the release of any balance of the amount of the retention at the end of the retention period.
