The Project Product Journal contains product billings entered in the Edit Project Product Bills screen (Projects » Billing » Edit Billings). Use this screen to post invoices with a status of Selected. The journal debits the billed receivable account that has been set up in the project’s project account group. Unbilled amounts are posted to the unbilled receivable account that has been set up in the project’s project account group. If discounts have been taken, these amounts are posted, and shipping charges and sales tax accrued.
This application uses "dynamic temporary tables." Application locking for this program is set to Single; only one user can access this application at a time. Refer to System Administration Special Topic SA-4, "Application Locking/Dynamic Tables," for more information.
You can print and post the Project Product Billing Journal to the ledger as many times as necessary during an accounting subperiod. Failure to post the Project Product Billing Journal may result in an overstatement of your unbilled receivables and an understatement of billed receivables. You can print the Journal without posting to the General Ledger. However, you must print the journal before posting.

Open project product bills are stored in the PROJ_PROD_INVC_HDR and PROJ_PROD_INVC_LN tables. These tables do not store open invoices by fiscal year, period and subperiod. When the posting program is executed, it looks only for a status of Selected and posts these invoices to the fiscal year, period and subperiod selected. Therefore, verify the status of invoices before posting them to the General Ledger.

The following are posted as part of the Project Product Bills posting:
Receivable - The program looks to the PROJ_ORG_ACCT and ACCT_GRP_SETUP tables for the account/ref1/ref2 with a function code of Billed A/R. If an account with the function code of Billed A/R cannot be found then the program will display a message saying that the posting cannot be completed. The program then looks to the PROJ_BILL_INFO table for the level at which this invoice should be posted. The Owning Organization assigned to the project is used as the Org for posting. The Invoice Amount net of discounts, sales tax and shipping is posted as the billed receivable for invoices with a status of Selected.
Unbilled - The program looks to the PROJ_ORG_ACCT and ACCT_GRP_SETUP tables for the account/ref1/ref2 with a function code of Unbilled-Genrl. If an account with the function code of Unbilled-Genrl cannot be found, the program displays a message saying that the posting cannot be completed. The program then looks to the PROJ_BILL_INFO table for the level at which the receivable is posted. It looks to the PROJ_REV_SETUP table to find the project level at which revenue is posted. It compares the two. If different, the unbilled amount is posted at the higher of the two levels.
Sales tax - The program looks to the SALES_TX_ACCT table for the account/org/ref1/ref2 for each sales tax code. Account/Orgs used in the posting of sales tax are determined for each sales tax code. So if sales tax is accrued to multiple sales tax codes, there will be multiple account/orgs updated with sales tax amounts.
Shipping - The program looks to the AR_DFLT_ACCT table for the default accounts identified for shipping and handling charges. The account/org/ref1/ref2 stored in this table is always used for these charges. Therefore, shipping charges are not stored by project.
Discounts - The program looks to the AR_DFLT_ACCT table for the default accounts identified for discounts offered. The account/org/ref1/ref2 stored in this table is always used for these charges. Therefore, discount amounts are not stored by project.
