Project accounting postings

Hi, 

Could we clarify the uses of each posting box within the project module, please? I haven't been able to find one single information source where all of them are explained. Here below my findings, I would really appreciate if you complete it with yours. Thanks!!

COST ACCOUNTS: 

* Cost: It is supposed to be used for PL accounts for all transactions types. But this does not tell anything to me. I could setup a BS account here and there's no check. What I think it's important is to know that it is debited at posting but when posting which transaction? 

* WIP-cost value: Debited when posting in a project an expense or hour transaction. 

* WIP-cost value - item: Just for item transactions.

* Cost - item: Just for item transactions. 

Difference between the two above? 

* WIP-accrued loss: 

* Payroll allocation: 

* Accrued loss: 

REVENUE ACCOUNTS:

* Invoiced revenue: 

* WIP - sales value: 

* WIP - production: 

* WIP - profit: 

* Accrued revenue - sales value:

* Accrued revenue - production:  

* Accrued revenue - profit: 

* Accrued revenue - subscription: 

* WIP - subscription:

    Hi CapsLock,

    I described the usage of all of those accounts for different scenarios here:

    As there are a lot of configurations possible there are multiple options how you can setup and use those accounts.

    Best regards,
