Contract line transaction categories

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hi everbody,

I have some questions about transaction categories and their billing types in contact lines.

What determines whether transaction categories show up in project contract line transaction categories when a new contract line is created?

We have some transaction categories set up that do not show up here at all. Changing the transaction category unit group/default unit/billing type does not seem to make a difference in whether they show up or not.

Also, why are they always chargeable, even if one chooses a different billing type like non chargeable in the transaction category?

Bonus question: In project tasks, there is a field called Category:

I would expect every time an expense entry that is made against this project task to automatically generate actuals with the billing type that is associated to that category. But this does not seem to be the case. Is there a configuration I need to make to achieve this? If it's not possible, what is the purpose of this field? Is it just for reporting?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Best regards,

Thomas

    Hi Thomas,

    Answering your questions:

    1. I believe that ALL transaction categories show up as chargeable categories on order line.

    2. Microsoft has acknowledge that the behaviour you describe here is a bug. Please log a support request.

    3. Sadly this is not working like you describe. Hopefully in next-gen PSA we will have billable flag per project task.

    Sorry that I do not have great news...

    Matthew
