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

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

1. If the Task Terms option is not selected on the Sub-Level Terms tab of the Billing Terms form at the phase level, DPS uses the phase terms. If no phase terms are defined, DPS uses the project-level terms.
2. If the Task Terms options is selected, DPS uses the terms of the first task in the series that it matches when generating the invoice.
3. If no task in the series has terms specified, DPS uses the phase's terms.
4. If the phase does not have terms defined, DPS uses the project-level terms.
5. If the project does not have terms specified and it is part of a billing group, DPS uses the terms for the main project.
6. 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 task information on the final invoice.
