Project Expense Entry - Line and Summary Distribution Options (GP 2018)

Posted on by 465

In Project Employee Expense Entry you cannot break up the purchase amounts to additional lines but still have it add up to the purchased total amount without error.

Example: $20 purchase line gets divided into 2 separate distribution lines with the same account $10 each. We use the Reference Field to populate the project number so the expense can be identified in the journal entry in Financials.

We get the error: You cannot change the distribution amounts at the summary level. Use the line distribution menu instead.

In this menu, you can change the account only and don't get same option in the distribution summary.

We also tried changing the type in distribution types around to see if we can override but no luck so far.

Thanks for the help!

    I have added a suggestion in Microsoft Ideas to have them bring this feature back to allow distributions to be changed at the Summary Level in Project Accounting,  Please up vote this idea!
