Over many years and many discussions I found that Deltek Vision’s concept of job costing is still a stumbling stone for many accounting specialist, especially when it comes to explain this to their accountant at year end.

NOTICE:
The Vision API Test Bench web site has been suspended due to the high cost of running such a server.

You can even call your own code functions, web services and stored procedures. But there’s on big limitation you have to remind yourself…

The longest and hardest fought over sessions in a Vision implementation are always project numbering and project structures.
While project numbering is usually defined by a legacy application or legacy filing system (and it’s less of an issue as most people think) I came across some misconceptions on Vision’s Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and how to use them.
