Use this screen to calculate progress payment bills for organizations that use government form 1443, Contractor's Request for Progress Payment. This process generates bills that you can review and edit in the Edit Progress Payment Billings screen (Projects » Billing » Edit Billings) before printing and posting them. You must set up projects in the Project Billing Info screen (Projects » Billing » Billing Master or Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup) with the Progress Payment formula before they can be calculated in this screen. Note that this process is separate from the calculation of all other types of bills, which is done in the Calculate Billings screen (Projects » Billing » Calculate Billings).
Transactions must meet the following validations before they can be included on a Progress Payment bill:
They must be posted to the general ledger and included in the Open Billing Detail file.
Subcontractor transactions must be included in the Maintain Subcontractor Progress Payments file (Projects » Billing » Billing History) via the Update Subcontractor Progress Payments screen (Projects » Billing » Prepare Billings). If the organization sending the bill is considered "large business," accounts payable transactions must have been paid for before they are eligible to be billed. Before calculating progress payment bills, use the Update Cash Basis Information screen (Projects » Billing » Prepare Billings) to update this payment information for your accounts payable transactions. (For more information see Billing Special Topic BL-9, "Cash Basis Billing.")
If the Limit Transactions To Period of Performance check box has been selected in the Other Info subtask of the Project Billing Info screen (Projects » Billing » Billing Master or Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup), the subperiod in which the transactions have been posted must be within the project start and end dates entered in the Modifications screen (Projects » Project Setup » Controls).
If you have hours-based pools and you are billing subcontractor progress payment delivery invoices, you must have entered the delivery hours in the Maintain Subcontractor Progress Payments screen (Projects » Billing » Billing History).
For more information, please see Billing Special Topic BL-6, "Progress Payment Bills."
Execute the Update Subcontractor Progress Payments screen (Projects » Billing » Prepare Billings) before you calculate progress payment bills. If your organization is considered "large business," you must also run the Update Cash Basis Information screen (Projects » Billing » Prepare Billings).
