Contents of the Project Invoice and Receipt History Form

Use the fields and options on the form to enter the historical data for project invoices and receipts.

Header Information

Field Description
Project Select the project for which to enter historical data.
Phase This field displays phase information if the project has associated phases entered in the Project Info Center.
Task This field displays task information if the project has associated phases and tasks entered in the Project Info Center.
Unbilled Revenue Enter the amount of unbilled revenue for this project and task (if any). This field is available for those clients who use the Revenue Generation feature.
Billing Currency If you use the Multicurrency feature, this field displays the three-character code for the currency used to generate invoices and billing reports for a specific project and all its phases and tasks. For each individual project, you define the billing currency at the top level of its work breakdown structure and the billing currency applies to any and all lower levels (for example, phases/tasks) of the project's WBS.

Project and billing currencies do not need to be the same. Your company can plan and manage a project in one currency, and invoice the client in another currency.

Functional Currency If you use the Multicurrency feature, this field displays the three-character code for the currency of the primary economic environment in which a company operates. Normally, this is the currency in which cash is generated and expended by the company.

For example, a company located in France would normally use the euro as its functional or "home" currency. Amounts on General Ledger reports display using your company's functional currency.

Project Currency If you use the Multicurrency feature, this field displays the three-character code for the currency in which a project is managed, which may be different from the functional currency of the project's home company.

For each project, you define the project currency at the top level of its work breakdown structure and the project currency applies to any and all lower levels (phases/tasks) of the project's WBS. When labor or expense charges are made to a project, the charges are recorded in the project currency, as well as all other appropriate currencies.

  • Retainage: If you are entering a retainage amount for the historical invoice, select this option.
  • Interest: If you are entering an interest amount for the historical invoice, select this option. When you select this option, the entry in the Section column defaults to I to indicate that this amount will apply to the interest section of the invoice.
