Consultant Accruals

Budget consultant expenses, post accruals for those consultants, and then generate a report.

With Consultant Accruals you can:

  • Calculate accrual amounts based on budget, estimate-to-completion (ETC) or estimate-at-completion (EAC) amounts
  • Select accounts singly, by account range, or by project
  • Suppress billing
  • Post accruals immediately after calculation
  • Update percent complete amounts; drill down to compensation and billed detail
  • Schedule accruals processing to run at a different time
  • Select saved options, save current options, or restore defaults

Before you use consultant accruals, you must first establish your budget parameters in Accounting Settings.

If you use multiple companies, you run consultant accruals for all of the projects in your company, rather than for all the projects in your database (the entire enterprise).

If you use multiple currencies, the transaction currency of each reference is stored as project currency in the journal entry file. The journal entry file reference number or posting log includes the project currency code. A credit entry is created in the journal entry file for each debit entry line.
