Credit project planning lines wrong unit price

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 35

Hello,

In Business Central, we use time sheets at project level. Our unit prices are retrieved from the Sales Project Price Lists. Once the time sheets are approved, they are posted via Project journals.
Next, the Project Planning Lines are transferred to the sales invoice, which is then posted. After posting the sales invoice, we discovered wrong unit prices in the Sales Project Price Lists. Next, I corrected the unit prices in the Sales Project Price Lists.

Afterward, I reversed the sales invoice. In the Project Planning Lines, the resource hours are now shown as negative, successfully offsetting the original debit hours. However, the hourly rates are still incorrect.

I would like to delete these project lines and post them again via Project journals, so that the correct amounts are registered to the project. However, I am unable to delete these Project Planning Lines because the "Qty. Transferred to Invoice" already contains a value (for instance, showing 8, then -8, and then 8 again).

Currently, we have adjusted the selling prices on the sales invoice, but the wrong rates are still showing up in the project ledger entries.

Is there a way to clean up these lines so that I can re-post them correctly via Project journals?
Could someone please explain the steps to resolve this?

Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    the short answer is you won't be able to delete those planning lines while "Qty. Transferred to Invoice" holds a value — BC keeps that link on purpose so the project and the invoice stay reconciled, deletion would break the trail. So forget cleaning them by delete.
    The rates already in your project ledger entries are posted, they don't refresh when you fix the price list after. From what you describe the only clean way is to correct through the Project Journal itself — post a negative line for the wrong rate to back it out, then a fresh positive line with the corrected unit price.
     
    The planning side nets to zero, the ledger ends up right. I'd test on one project first, the rate on the reversing line is the thing that bites, it must match the original wrong rate exactly or you don't offset cleanly.
    Are the prices flowing onto the journal from the price list automatically, or are users typing them?
     
    Glad to help - follow up if anything is unclear.
