         <ListItem>You can use <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ppc" role="module">Avanzamento progetto</GUIRef> to register and control the project
		  data during the course of the project. The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ppcm" role="module">Monitoraggio</GUIRef> part of the
		  module combines information from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ppc" role="module">Avanzamento progetto</GUIRef> to generate project monitoring reports
		  and financial statements. These reports are based on quantities and amounts,
		  and can be presented for any project level. There is a wide range of selection
		  criteria to ensure that the right data is received by the right people; for
		  example, including or excluding expected costs (commitment accounting), current
		  or accumulative period, and with or without final result forecasts. Budgets and
		  performed costs are compared with the actual data. You can view the consequence
		  of this comparison. You can also see the estimated cost at the end of a project
		  during its execution.</ListItem>

		  coming from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/pin" role="module">Fatturazione</GUIRef> module. You can also enter additional revenues. You must
