Project statement Time and Material

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 95

Hello

We have time and material that we have migrated into FinOps and we have use beginning balance for the cost and revenue (based on invoice already generated) we had before we have migrated into FinOps. For cost it is ok. But for some case we have an amount for invoice to be generated.

Initially we did a beginning balance as billable but when we check the project statement we don't see this amount on the P&L.

My first question is: Is it the right way to do it ? See attachement

Second question we did an adjustment of this beginning balance billable to put it as non billable and reverse it. But when we do that the adjustment is creating written on the voucher that we don't want.

so if the first step we did (create a beginning balance billable) is wrong how we should reverse it without any written on the voucher.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    For your second question:

    If there was a wrong posting in the beginning balance journal then create and post a second one for correcting it. As soon as you start making use of the adjustment functionality or anything else on the project the 'normal' posting logic hits in and creates vouchers.

    For the first question:

    Has the journal been posted? Do you run the statements for the same period in which the beginning balance transactions were recorded?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Good morning Meggie,

    Is this a T&M project that makes use of WIP postings?

    Can you identify anything in the project statement form?

    Have you tried hitting the 'calculate' button in the upper left-hand part of the project statement form?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hello

    Not sure to understand your first question.  

    On the project statement we see the on account and the cost based on the beginning balance but we don't see the invoice to bill to establish.

    Yes I clicked on calculate on the top of the screen.

    What is weird is if I create a beginning balance but flag it as “accrue revenue” bottom of the page then I see it on the project statement

    Hello Meggie,

    Can you do the following:

    1. Check that your project group is setup with a 'balance' posting for hours/items/...

    2. Instead of posting to profit and loss select 'balance' in the cost status field in the beginning balance journal.

    I tested this in a 10.0.8 machine (PU32) where things worked fine.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
