For construction, EPC, job-work and service firms, raise a bill against a project and its bill of resources — labour, machine and material — instead of a product SKU. Do progress and resource billing, and print a GST-compliant, amount-in-words project bill. Product billing, POS at the counter and project billing all sit in one system.
A project bill isn't a fresh spreadsheet — it's built from the labour, machine and material the project consumed, then finished as a proper GST bill that posts to your accounts.
A project bill starts with a header — a bill number and date, the project, the party code, name and address, notes and the amount — and carries resource-itemised lines beneath it. Each line names its resource group and code, the resource — labour, machine or material — with a quantity, a unit, a rate and an amount. Because the lines come from the project's bill of resources rather than a product SKU, the bill is a direct reflection of what the project actually consumed, not a lump sum the client has to take on trust.
Not every project is billed in one shot. Because the lines are keyed to the project's resources, the same data bills three ways: the whole project at once, a single resource group across it, or a defined milestone — a stage or portion of the work. Milestone billing lets you bill a foundation stage, a fabrication stage and a commissioning stage separately, each a resource-itemised bill in its own right, without ever re-entering the numbers.
A project bill is a full GST document, not a rough estimate. GST and other charges apply just as they do on a product tax invoice, the total is rounded and spelled out as an amount in words in Indian numbering, and the bill produces a printable, PDF-ready document carrying party details, notes and totals. It posts to your accounts as a sales voucher with GST — working with Tally and other tools — so a project bill is treated exactly like the rest of your invoicing.
Plenty of firms both sell products and run projects. Product billing — GST tax invoices raised against dispatch, and POS at the counter — and project billing against a bill of resources run on the same platform, sharing one party master and one set of accounts. Subcontractor and supplier bills on a project are passed against their purchase order before payment, and everything posts to the same books. It's one system to bill both ways, not two tools stitched together.

A lump-sum invoice invites a query; an itemised, milestone bill answers it. New to the idea? Read what is GST billing software?
Product billing raises a tax invoice against items with an SKU — quantity and rate per product. Project billing raises a bill against a project and its bill of resources instead, with lines for the labour, machine and material the project consumed. It suits work priced as a job rather than sold off a catalogue, such as construction, EPC, fabrication and service. Both run in the same system, so a firm that does both bills from one place.
Yes. A project bill is resource-itemised: each line names its resource group and code, the resource — labour, machine or material — with a quantity, a unit, a rate and an amount. Because the lines come from the project's bill of resources, the bill is a direct reflection of what the project consumed, not a single lump-sum figure the client has to take on trust.
Yes. A long project is rarely billed in one shot. Progress and running-account (RA) billing raises successive bills against one project, each with its own invoice date and type, and milestone billing bills a defined stage or portion of the work. Because the lines are keyed to the project's resources, each stage bills its own resources without re-entering the numbers.
Yes. A project bill applies GST and other charges just like a product tax invoice, and produces a printable, PDF-ready document carrying party details, notes, totals and the amount in words in Indian numbering. It posts to your accounts as a sales voucher with GST, working with Tally and other tools, so a project bill sits alongside the rest of your invoicing.
Yes. Fast Billing runs product billing — GST tax invoices against dispatch, POS at the counter — and project billing against a bill of resources on the same platform, sharing one party master and one set of accounts. A firm that sells products and also runs projects bills both from one system, rather than keeping two separate tools.
Project and resource billing suits construction, EPC, fabrication, job-work and service firms — any business that bills for work done rather than a product sold off a shelf. If you quote and deliver by project, and want a GST-compliant bill that itemises the labour, machine and material behind it, project billing is built for you.
