Most projects don’t lose money at the end. They lose it quietly every week.
Odoo Project: tasks, timesheets and profitability
Odoo Project organises tasks and milestones, records timesheets, bills by milestone or time, and shows each project’s profitability from real costs and revenue.

Can Odoo show whether a project is profitable?
Yes. With analytic accounting, timesheets, purchases and invoices linked to a project, Odoo reports revenue, labour and material costs per project, so margin is visible while the project runs rather than after it closes.
