# Frequently Asked Questions: Capabilities and Limits

> Honest answers to common questions about what DualEntry does and does not support, including nonprofit, government contracting, and timekeeping.

This page answers common questions about whether DualEntry supports a specific capability. Where a capability is not part of the documented product, this page says so plainly and points you to the closest supported alternative or to your DualEntry account team. For the data model behind these answers, see [Key Concepts](./key-concepts).

## Does DualEntry support project accounting?

DualEntry does not have a dedicated project accounting module. Projects are handled as a [classification](./key-concepts#classifications-and-dimensions), which is a dimension tag you attach to transaction lines such as journal entries, bills, and expenses. You tag any line with a project, then filter or group reports (P\&L, spend, flux) by that project for granular reporting without adding accounts to your chart of accounts.

Dedicated project accounting features such as per-project budgets, project billing, and work-in-progress (WIP) tracking are not part of the documented product today. If your team needs those, raise it with your DualEntry account team so it can be evaluated.

## Does DualEntry support nonprofit (fund) accounting?

DualEntry does not offer dedicated nonprofit fund accounting features in the documented product. Standard capabilities can model some nonprofit needs: [classifications](./key-concepts#classifications-and-dimensions) can stand in for funds or programs, [multi-entity consolidation](../platform-configuration/multi-entity-consolidation) handles related organizations, and the [custom report builder](../reporting-analytics/custom-report-builder) groups activity by any dimension.

Fund-accounting-specific functionality, such as net asset release tracking and donor-restriction enforcement, is not documented as available. For your specific requirements, contact your DualEntry account team.

## Can DualEntry handle government contract types (CPFF, T\&M, Fixed Price, OTA, SBIR)?

Government contracting vehicles such as CPFF, T\&M, OTA, and SBIR are not addressed by name in the documented product. DualEntry's [revenue recognition strategies](../revenue-recognition/asc-606) (usage-based, straight-line, daily pro-rata, and immediate) can model the economics of some of these arrangements, but government-contract-specific handling is not a documented capability.

If you have a government contracting (govcon) requirement, confirm fit with your DualEntry account team before relying on it.

## Can DualEntry auto-calculate indirect cost pools (Fringe, Shared Services, G\&A, Overhead)?

Automatic calculation of indirect cost pools such as Fringe, Shared Services, G\&A, and Overhead is not a documented capability. This is government and cost-accounting functionality that is outside the documented scope today.

## Does DualEntry support indirect rates?

Indirect rate calculation, the companion to indirect cost pools, is not documented as a supported feature and is not in scope today.

## Is there a timekeeping module?

DualEntry does not have a native timekeeping or time-entry module. Time and labor data typically enters DualEntry through a [payroll or HR integration](../integrations/index) rather than a built-in timesheet feature.

## Can requisitions route through approval workflows?

Purchase requisitions are not a documented record type in DualEntry. [Approval workflows](../platform-configuration/approval-workflows) cover the documented transaction types, including bills, invoices, journal entries, purchase orders, and sales orders, but requisitions specifically are not addressed. If requisition routing matters to your team, confirm the roadmap with your DualEntry account team.

## What is the typical month-end close timeline?

DualEntry does not publish an average customer close timeline, because close speed depends on transaction volume, automation, and team setup. [Close Management](../core-financials/close-management/index) is built to compress the cycle through the close checklist, parallel tasks, period locking, and [Bank Match AI](../core-financials/close-management/bank-match-ai). For a benchmark figure for a business like yours, your DualEntry account team is the best source.
