Project Accounting PO with Cost Category but no Project ID

Posted on by Frank Hamelly | MVP... 46,625 Super User 2025 Season 2

I just discovered yesterday that you can enter a PO with a Cost Category and no Project ID.  The Project ID defaults to <NONE> in this instance.  Does anyone know of a good reason why you would want to use a Cost Category on a PO with no project?  Or perhaps this is a bug?  This capability seems counter-intuitive to me.

Thanks,

    Frank,

    If we use Cost Category without Project ID, we can't enter inventory items to this PO line(Inventory items allow only if we use Project ID). This will allow us to enter only non-inventory items.

    So, I think this will allow us to enter Cost Category without Project ID for non-inventory items for some specific reason. I don't know the exact use and reason behind this functionality. Also think this is not a bug.

    Hope this helps!!!

    We are facing problem with one of Client who is using Project accounting. When we run a report Billing Activity it is not printing Trade Amount in the report. I am new to project accounting and I am not sure how this Trade Amount is deriving in Billing Activity Report. Please let me know if we are missing something in Project ID or in a Deal or somewhere else.

    Regards,

    Sanjay

    Hi Sanjay

    Are you able to go to inquiry and see billing and payments for the project.  What report you are running please share the screen shot.  Use rich formatting to attach file.

    Hi Babu,

    Sorry for replying so late on this issue. This issue is still pending at my end and I am not yet resolve it. I have mullitple databases out of which for one database I can print Billing Activity Detail report but it is not printing the Total Amount of that Report. I have checked report for both companies one from Report is OK and another where have a problem in Report. Both Report have same format but Total column is not printing the amount for another report. Please check below details for more reference.

    1. Go to Project > Reports> Billing Activity

    2. Select Pre-Billing Worksheet – T&M

    Amount should be the multiple of total cost and Qty(as shown below).

    Amount is not showing for below company

    Please check and let us know how I can rectify this error.

    Regards,

    Sanjay
