Purchase order committed cost in Project

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3,968

Hi All

I have created the purchase order from the item requirement of the Project and confirm the PO but its amount is not showing in the Committed cost. Even i tries to generate the committed cost from the periodic but no cost generated. And this happens with 3 PO's (what i checked so far).

I am using AX 2012 R2 CU7, please advise how to fix this issue in the future and how i can generate the committed cost these PO's.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi All

    RE: Purchase order committed cost in Project

    Hi,

    I am facing the similar issue. I create a PO for a project. Then, when the PO is confirmed, all is ok in the project costs; committed costs reflected fine. The problems that I am facing are the next:

    1. If I receive and invoice the PO partially (invoice journal posted), then the committed costs are not deducted with the amount that has been invoiced

    2. I can receive and invoice completely the purchase order. The PO status will be now invoiced, however my committed costs are still the same that at the beginning showing the total initial amount for that PO.

    3. Consequently, when I go and check my project committed costs, they are not correct. Either when PO has been partially invoiced or total invoiced. Also my project costs are showing my actuals (invoiced) plus my commitments (which are not deducted) and the total (actual cost + commitments ) is therefore wrong.

    4. It is only when I change the PO status to Finalise, when the committed costs are removed. 

    This is not correct because, the committed costs will be always wrong if the POs are not finalised, that is normal when there are multiple POs along the project life.

    I have checked also the commitment reports and it is coming wrong as well.

    Does someone know if there is any rule or setup that is blocking this? 

    In contoso this is working fine, as expected.

    Regards,

    Elena

    Thanks Ludwig,

    I find that when a project purchase order is created, the system creates a commitment.

    When  you record an invoice against this purchase order, the system also creates a line for commitment. When the invoice is posted, the commitment line against the invoice is cleared by a negative entry and this moves to consumed expense, which is correct.

    What I notice is that the commitment line against purchase order is not reversed. As a result, the remaining budget for the project is wrongly stated (in that invoiced PO is still showing as commitment).

    I checked this further and note that if I go to "finalise" option under the PO line, this is remedied. So, is there a setting to automatically finalise the PO when the PO quantity and value = receipted quantity and value and = invoiced quantity and value.

    thanks

    Hello JacksNZ,

    I do not understand this sentence

    I would expect committed cost against PO should also be cleared when an invoice line is created.

    Can you elaborate what you expect here and why?

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Good morning,

    I find this relevant to the thread and am asking this question for help please.

    I note in D365 when I create a PO, committed cost is created but however still remains an open committed cost even after I have posted the vendor invoice.

    The system creates a new committed cost line for vendor invoice and then instantly clears the committed cost once invoice is posted. I would expect committed cost against PO should also be cleared when an invoice line is created.

    I find that this does not happen in Contoso; so must be a small setting though I have compared to the extent possible between Contoso and the environment I am using.

    Thanks

    Hello Hugo Marte,

    This is a very old thread and it would thus be great if you could create a new one. Otherwise, it will be difficult tracking and following your issue.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Imran Ul Haq,

    i'm facing the same problem when i post a project PO with non-stocked items. Sometimes the cost appears in Posted project transactions and sometimes not.

    I checked the accounting distributions in PO <View distributions > and i notice that some lines don't have Project ID.But in the PO form the field is complete.

    Here the images links:

    Hi Gaston,

    I am performing the same standard procedure of the PO creation and confirming it and getting the committed cost. But for some PO's I cannot see the committed cost, even they are created with the same process.

    thanks

    Hi dudwig,

    thanks for your answer!

    Any questions I ask you again. I will test from a project from scratch, generating the purchase order, then confirming it, then check if the query for committed cost includes the purchase order, register the albaran and to finalize registration the invoice. In this way I will review the compromised cost query and verify that the purchase order does not exist.

    Thanks for your time!

    Regards!
