Use revenue account in general journal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Apix 307

Hi Everybody, 

I would like to use a revenue account avalaible in my project group to post revenue within my general ledger > journal entries > general journal. 

My process below  :

- Creating a voucher in General ledger > Journal Entries > General Journal 

- Choosing a account type = project

- Selecting my category 

- Posting

If I have a credit revenue to post, i want to use the revenue account available in my project categories. 

The problem is, each time i'm trying to do it, the system is looking for my cost account and not revenue account either if the amount  is on the credit of my voucher. 

I must miss a setting to use the revenue account of my category in my general journal, but i don't know it yet, does someone have an idea? 

Thanks for your help

Best regards

    Hi,

    To my knowledge posting fee categories is not supported in GL journals.

    You can either make a system modification, make use of free text invoices or use fee journals in the Project module.

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you for your quick reply,

    Free text invoice does not allow you to use account type "project". Does fee journal allow you to post revenue directly in your project, not only fee or expenses?

    Kind regards,

    Aymeric.

    You need first to enable the "free text invoice" functionality for the project module.

    AR > Setup > AR Parameters > Project tab: set "Display project-related fields on free text invoices" to yes, and then you will be able to create Project free text invoices.

    You can also create project sales order, but that's more cumbersome.

    Hi Zvika,

    Thank you for your reply.

    It's seems to work, how do you setup the category project to have it available in the free text invoice?

    Hi ,

    You will have the standard fee categories available in the free text invoices. This allows you posting project related revenue. There is however no cost related posting because fee categories don't have costs associated.

    Best regards

    Ludwig,

    So by using it, i will not have accounting entries in my general ledger?

    Hi,

    Making use of the free text invoice functionality will create revenue transactions but there will be no cost transactions because fee categories cannot have costs attached.

    When you create a free text invoice, on the line level you have a "Project" tab, where you can select the project and the project category (of type "Fee") you want to use.

    Zvika,

    But the setting of the category in order to makes it available in the field, how can I do that?

    I already set my category but they are not available for my free text invoice.

    Regards

    Ludwig,

    I saw this post when Zvika replied. I think that function is matching my expectation but I can't figure out yet how to configure the category project in order to makes it available in my free text invoice field.
