Add the BOQ (contract projects)

  4. Under Import from Excel (CSV), choose the file and click Import.

Good to know

  • An own development project gets a Budget tab instead of BOQ, measurement book and RA abstracts. Add phases on Schedule, then budget heads on Budget.
  • On a phone, add K-Projects to the home screen from the browser menu. It opens on Today on site.
  • A contract won in K-Tender, a deal won in K-CRM or an approved BOQ in K-Survey can create the project for you. See Links to other apps.

Common errors

"Your Khanal ID needs a verified email and two-step verification to use K-Projects."

Open your Khanal ID, verify your e-mail and set up an authenticator app. Then sign in to K-Projects again. See Sign in and two-step verification.

"Another project already uses this code."

Project codes are unique in your organisation. Choose a different code, for example add -02.

"Client is required for a contract project."

Type the client's name, or choose Own development if the project is your own.

"Could not find the heading row. It needs at least Description, Quantity and Rate columns."

Your CSV has no heading row with those names. Click Download template, copy your lines under its headings and import again.

"Your plan allows 3 active projects. Ask for a bigger plan on the Billing page to add more."

The trial allows 3 running projects. Mark a finished project Completed, or request a plan on Plan & billing. See Plans and limits.
