Project purchase order not incurred the cost in project

Posted on by 3,945

Hi Friends,

I was checking one scenario in project management for the client, if we create the project purchase order on procurement category not on item, will the PO cost will incurred in the project. I checked the scenario on DEV and it is not showing in any project module reports not even in posted transaction form on project but GL entries are correct. Can anyone flash some light on it, thanks in advance.

thanks,

    Hi Imran,

    Do you have the committed cost parameters active in the project parameters form?

    Also, can you replicate the problem in a MS contoso environment for example in the USSI demo company?

    Things should work fine there and I wonder whether some differences in the parameter settings might be responsible for this issue.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Imran,

    I just double checked that and I can see the costs for a line that contains an item as well for a line that contains a category only the committed costs at the project level once the PO is confirmed.

    Is it possible that you are operating an older system version and that the behavior that you see is caused by a bug?

    Have you already checked LCS for available hotfixes?

    Best regards,

    Hi Ludwig,

    There is no restrictions on viewing the data.

    Actually my query is, I created the PO against the procurement category not on item and invoice it, so the cost should be shown in project module but its not showing in any of the forms or report.

    If I create the PO by selecting the item on the PO lines and invoice it, the cost is showing in the project module.

    So here I am assuming, if the PO is created against the procurement category cost will not be shown in the project module, is it correct? Please advise.

    Thanks

    Hi Imran,

    Is it possible that some restrictive data policies prevent you from investigating the data in the project module?

    If the voucher is posted correctly in GL then things must be fine in project.

    Can you try the following:

    Open the voucher in GL and then click the transaction origin button to identify and navigate to the original transaction that has been recorded in the project module.

    If you cannot do that then some restrictions might be in place that prevent you seeing details.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    From Project module I cannot see the transactions but In GL voucher is showing and posted correctly. My issue is the transaction is not showing the project module in sub ledger, in GL showing fine. My PO is created on "procurement category" not on item.

    thanks

    Hi Imran,

    Have you checked that the subledger voucher from project is not pending in the subledger not yet transferred form in GL?

    Did AX generate a voucher at all?

    Can you possibly share some screenprints?

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    thanks for your reply.

    Actually its the actual cost, actual cost after invoicing the PO is not showing in the project reports or totally in the project module.

    Hi Imran,

    Have you enabled the committed costs project parameters and setup a batch job that regularly updates the committed costs?

    If those elements are in place then you should see the costs early at the project level; basically with the creation of the PO.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
