Current Open Billing Dashpart

The Current Open Billing dashpart is a bar chart that displays the sum of transactions that have not been billed yet for 0-30 days by project. The data on this dashpart comes from Costpoint.

Note: This dashpart is available on the Project Manager Dashboard, Organization Manager Dashboard, and Finance Manager Dashboard.

Open billing transaction amounts are rolled up to the top-level project. Each project is represented by a bar. The amounts that display are based on the company's functional currency, as set up on the Costpoint database being accessed. The functional currency is also displayed on the chart legend, along with (000) to reflect that the data is presented in thousands.

Projects that display on the chart are only those projects you have access to and their child projects.

Note: For the Organization Manager Dashboard and Finance Manager Dashboard, projects that display are only those associated with the organizations you have access to. If you have access to multiple organizations, you can limit the data that displays on this dashpart to only one or a few organizations using the Organization field on the Parameters tab. After you have entered an organization ID in this field, the dashpart displays data for the selected organization and all levels below it.

"Data Updates Realtime" indicates that the chart reflects updates to open billing detail transactions as they are posted in Costpoint.

Calculation

Costpoint calculates the open billing amount as follows: Transaction Amount - (Cash Basis Amount + On Hold Amount + Write Off Amount + Amount Previously Billed).

The age the transactions are open is based on the subperiod end date: Current Date - Subperiod End Date.

Drill-Through

Hover over a bar to display a tooltip containing the project name and the actual open billing amount represented by that bar. Click a bar to open the Manage Open Billing Detail screen, where you can view the billing transactions that have been open for 0-30 days for a particular project.

Note: Depending on your security rights, Costpoint may display a message indicating that you do not have access to a drill-through application.

Security

For the Organization Manager Dashboard and Finance Manager Dashboard, the data that displays on this dashpart depends on whether or not your company uses the organization security feature in Costpoint. If your company does not have organization security applied, you can view data for all organizations in your company based on the parameters selected on the Parameters tab.

If your company has set up organization security, the security applied to the dashpart will be based on the organization security settings of the Print Project Status Report screen. The security will be applied to the owning organization of the project. You will see open billing transactions for projects that have an owning organization you have access to.

If the security profile with which you are associated does not have rights to the Print Project Status Report screen, you can still view the Current Open Billing dashpart. You can also view this dashpart even if you do not have rights to the Manage Open Billing Detail screen, but you will not be able to drill through this application.
