Posted on by 8
Hi, please I need help with identifying what I'm doing wrong. I'm attempting to get familiar with how to use the Accrue revenue function in time and material projects but when I attempt to use the function, it doesn't generate any trnasaction. Please I want to know what triggers the function? I've checked similar threads but can't find anything that answers my qyestion directly. I will add some screenprints below:

    when Accrue Revenue generates no transactions on a T&M project it is almost always a missing link in the configuration chain. Check these four prerequisites in order:

    1. Project Group — the trigger switch
    Path: Project management and accounting > Setup > Project groups
    Select your project group and on the Ledger/Posting fasttab confirm that Accrue revenue is checked for the relevant transaction types (Hours, Expense, Item, Fee). If this is off the system treats T&M revenue as invoice-recognition only and ignores accrual routines entirely.

    2. Line Property — the transaction flag
    Path: Project management and accounting > Setup > Line properties
    The line property assigned to your posted transactions (e.g. Billable) must have Accrue revenue checked. If it is off the system posts the cost but skips generating any unbilled sales or accrual value.

    3. Ledger Posting Profile — the accounting destinations
    Path: Project management and accounting > Setup > Posting > Ledger posting setup
    Under the Revenue tab confirm WIP - sales value and Accrued revenue - sales value accounts are mapped. Missing account definitions cause silent failures during execution.

    4. Transaction status — must be posted and un-invoiced
    Accrue Revenue only processes transactions that are financially posted as actuals but not yet invoiced. If transactions are still in an unposted journal or already on a posted invoice the routine finds nothing to process.

    Three most common silent failure reasons:

    Transactions already invoiced — revenue already realized, accrual skips them

    Sales price evaluating to zero — accrual generates but with zero amount, looks like nothing happened

    Wrong periodic routine ,confirm you are running the correct WIP accrual job matching your project setup

    Work through the checklist top to bottom and you will find the gap.

    Hello,

     

    When a cost transaction has already been posted, this feature is utilized. By doing this, you will be able to generate revenue accrual based on cost transactions that have the sales price listed on each line.

     

    Before attempting to run the accrual process, which will generate accrual entries, please book some cost transactions, such as expenses or time entry with sales price.
