Setting up beginning balances in project accounting?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 345

How can I setup beginning balances (like billed to date info), in contracts, projects, for our fiscal year, without having to manually create a million timesheets?

 

Thanks,

John

    Hi John,

    There are a couple of options:

    1. Create 'legacy' cost categories and create one entry for the carryforward amounts and bill
    2. Create a miscellaneous log entry and bill
    3. Create SQL scripts to update the pertinent tables with the carryforward summary transaction amounts
    4. Combinations of above.

    I have used all options with success.  There are pros and cons to each option but PA is flexible enough to allow these options.

    The deciding factor is how you wish to have the amounts posted to the GL accounts and,  for ongoing Project reporting, how you prefer the amounts to be portrayed.  The key to remember is that, at project close, you want the amounts to clear off the balance sheet correctly and entirely.

    Utilization of test environment is recommended for all options including test closure of legacy projects.

    Regards,

    Hugh
