Business Central Project Posting Groups

We recently migrated to Business Central from Great Plains and are having an issue with how the WIP and POC cost entries are being recorded. We do not have an issue with the revenue recognition entries.
 
We started by recording a manual entry to reverse the prior month's WIP/POC entries and debiting the WIP Balance Sheet Accounts and crediting the COGS Expense Accounts. Sample below.
 
Reverse Prior Month Costs - Manual Journal Entry
Account Type   DR CR
Asset WIP 100.00  
Expense COGS   100.00
 
We then processed the current months transactions and ran the Calculate WIP Routine. Assuming we had 10.00 in costs in the current month our system posted the following entry related to the project costs.
 
Calculate WIP Routine - WIP Entry
Account Type   DR CR
Asset WIP 110.00  
Expense COGS   110.00
 
The system then posted the following entry to recognize the costs via POC.
 
Calculate WIP Routine - Recognition Entry
Account Type   DR CR
Expense COGS 110.00  
Asset WIP   110.00
 
We would have expected the WIP entry to only move the current month's activity from the expense account and the recognition entry to move the full project costs but this is not what happened and we are now sitting with the prior month's costs on the balance sheet and credits in COGS.
 
Attached is the current setup of our project posting groups if needed. Any help would be appreciated.

    None of the responses have helped. The Learn sites that were recommended do not include information on the amounts that are posted (i.e. JTD or MTD).

    Ah! GP and Business Central project accounting. You can't replicate the exact way project accounting works in Business Central.

    You need to recognize or mark it as "used" in the project accounting line, and only then will it be expensed.

     
     
    Thanks
