Project CIP
Streamline construction-in-progress and capitalize project costs with confidence
Project CIP is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central app developed by Rand Group that bridges the gap between project cost tracking and fixed asset management. Designed for organizations that build assets through project execution, Project CIP ensures costs flow seamlessly from construction-in-progress (CIP) to finalized fixed assets without spreadsheets or manual reconciliation.
Whether you manufacture internal equipment, construct facilities, or manage complex capital projects, Project CIP enables finance and operations teams to accumulate costs directly on projects and capitalize them into fixed assets with a controlled, guided workflow. By leveraging native Business Central tools—such as project journals, planning lines, and fixed asset journals—Project CIP provides a structured, auditable capitalization process fully embedded within Business Central.

About

Are project costs being tracked in one place and capitalized in another?
Project CIP connects project accounting directly to fixed asset management. It eliminates disconnected workflows and ensures costs flow seamlessly into finalized assets within Business Central.

Is your finance team relying on spreadsheets to reconcile CIP balances?
The app removes manual reconciliation by automating the capitalization workflow and generating proper Fixed Asset G/L entries within the system.

Do you struggle to prove audit traceability from project to asset?
Project CIP provides transparent cost visibility, controlled capitalization timing, and a clear audit trail from project task to fixed asset record.
Features
Features
Project CIP enhances Business Central’s native capabilities with structured, finance-driven asset capitalization tools. Features include:
- Comprehensive project cost capture: Accumulate all relevant costs directly on a project using Business Central’s native functionality, including purchase orders, job transactions, and other project-driven expenses. This ensures a complete and accurate cost foundation before capitalization.
- One-click capitalization to fixed assets: Use the “Capitalize” function directly from the fixed asset card to roll selected project costs into a fixed asset. Create a new asset or append to an existing one through a controlled workflow.
- Fixed asset G/L journal automation: When capitalization is executed, the app automatically generates the Fixed Asset G/L Journal. After posting, the asset is capitalized and the total cost is reflected in the project task—ensuring transparency and traceability.
- Controlled setup and configuration: Configure capitalization journal templates and batches directly within Fixed Asset Setup. Organizations can manage how and where capitalization entries post in the general ledger.
