         <SectionTitle>Elements, activities and extensions</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>Progress can be booked

      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Cost and commitments</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>You can register
		  actual costs and commitments. Every issued order or registered receipt is a
		  commitment, and is recorded in the commitment accounting system until the
		  corresponding invoice is entered. The costs you enter specify the actual
		  quantities used and amounts spent. This information can also be registered in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/procurement" role="package">Procurement</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>You can enter indirect
		  costs using cost and revenue surcharges. If costs and commitments are the
		  result of actions in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/procurement" role="package">Procurement</GUIRef>, the
		  integration of these transactions takes place automatically.</Paragraph>
      </GeneralSection>
      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Revenues</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>You can register all
		  revenues for a project. You can do this manually or it can be the result of
		  project invoicing. Revenues are created and become available in the Project
		  Progress (PPC-1) module when invoices are printed in the invoicing module.</Paragraph>
      </GeneralSection>

         <SectionTitle>Fluctuation settlement</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>Invoicing can be based
		  on scope changes in wage rates and material prices or quantities. You can
		  record these changes by date. When there is a contract extension, you can
		  create periodic reports and invoices on the basis of this information and
		  registered costs. In addition, you can display entries and create invoices for
		  provisional amounts and quantity fluctuations.</Paragraph>
