How DPS Determines Phase Terms to Use When Rolling Up Phase Detail on the Invoice

DPS uses a specific hierarchy to determine the phase terms to use when rolling up phase detail on a project's invoices.

  1. If Phase Terms is not selected on the Sub-Level Terms tab of the Billing Terms form at the project level, DPS uses the project level terms for rollup.
  2. If Phase Terms is selected, DPS uses the terms of the first phase in the series that it matches when generating the invoice.
  3. If no phase in the series has terms specified, DPS uses the project’s terms.
  4. If the project does not have terms specified and it is part of a billing group, DPS uses the terms for the main project.
  5. If the main project of the billing group does not have terms defined, the following occurs:
    • If you are generating draft invoices, DPS uses the reporting default terms when generating draft invoices, if Use default terms for draft invoices is selected on the Batch Billing form.
    • If you are generating final invoices, DPS does not print the phase information on the final invoice.
