POST PROJECT PRODUCT BILLS

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.

Select Subperiod

Use this group box to select the period in which you would like to post your bills.

Fiscal Year

Enter, or use the drop-down list to select, the fiscal year to which you want to post invoices.

Period

Enter, or use the drop-down list to select, the period to which you want to post invoices.

Subperiod

Enter, or use the drop-down list to select, the subperiod to which you want to post invoices. The subperiod ending date will appear in the field to the right of the subperiod number.

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.

Select Grouping

Use this group box to limit the bills that will be posted.

Select By
