Timesheet (contractor) vs AP data flow

Posted on by D365UG

Good day experts,

The scope of my interest is the ability to use timesheets but for contractors (worker type contractor and not employee). In the contractor details I can choose vendor, and PO, etc. Is there a way to make timesheet create a payable for the particular vendor without involving PO process?

To rephrase myself, once a timesheet is posted I would like to have a payable created for specific vendor associated to a contractor. Is there anything? Maybe reports that show relationship between vendor contractor and time?

Thank you

Anya

Hi Anya,

If I get you correctly then you want to have a timesheet transaction posting costs on the project and crediting a vendor account as a liability, right?

That's not possible because the offset account for timesheets is a ledger account. You cannot setup/select a vendor there.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Anya,

With a certain use of categories for contractors and ledger setup, you can have a balance on a clearing/suspension account which can be used to post the purchase invoices.

Hi Andre, I am looking for the same solution and would be great if you can share more detail. I have created a Contractor/ Worker with a sales price and cost price. I then have posted Time and Expense for this worker and created an invoice proposal for the project and billed the customer.

The Contractor/Worker is linked to a Vendor that needs to be Paid for the cost of the Contractor (Contingent Worker) (Umbrella Company/ Agency). I would think this is a common scenario in todays times. If there is another way to approach this i am happy to hear the alternatives?

As Ludwig has said the voucher creates payroll entries for the timesheet entries. I am looking for a way to add these entries to a vendor invoice that is then posted to the same project that the original cost was captured against.

Kind Regards,

Craig
