How were journal entries for multiple subaccounts booked to single cash account?

While trying to clean-up books, cannot get journal transactions booked to cash account with different subaccounts than defined on cash account. Read that cash account is one-to-one relationship with subaccount, so saw that solution may be to create new cash accounts with the not defined subaccount to clean-up, but concerned that cash account configuration has not changed yet we have transactions that are said to be impossible and are now erroring after upgrade to 2021R2. How could this have happened?

How to query the nested object of the service endpoint

Hi all,My goal is to establish the relationship between vendor & project.The Projectsprofile gives me the project IDsubcontractsPL gives me subcntract & vendorBut when I tried to query both I am not getting the project id back. I suspect its to do with the relationship. However I have tried creating the relationship through generic inquery but linking the POORder, SOOrder, Customer etc with the contractCD in PMProject.

Contact ID mismatched with Default Contact ID

Just found that my Default Contact ID are one less than the correct Contact ID. I can work around it in formula, but makes me nervous being out of sync. System working correctly, so is that just the way it is on Vendors which I’m working on now?

How to correctly reverse project invoices with retainage and related retainage invoices ?

Hello,I am new to Construction (but not to Projects and not to Acumatica). I’m looking to confirm the steps for properly correcting customer project invoices with retainage in the below circumstances.Here’s the situation.We created a pro forma and invoice for a regular progress billing on 5/15 and released it, creating PF = A000008 and AR doc = A000072,(retainage amount on A000072 was $766). Then we also needed to bill retainage, so we released the retainage. We released only the $766 amount (using the same date as the progress invoice) producing AR doc = A000074 and related PF = A000008. On 5/16, we released the rest of the project retainage,  $153,702. This seems to have created 2 AR docs (A000075 and 76):Doc 75 has the retainage invoice amount for the $153k, but no pro forma. Doc 76 is for $0 and has the pro forma with AIA doc showing $153k due, but we haven’t released it yet.The goal here is to remove the retainage invoices A000074 and 75, as well as progress invoice A000072.

Klinkers

Hi,Thinking about why we get “klinkers” where subcontracts and purchase orders create 00-9999 cost code budget lines, does the project setting “allow adding new items on the fly” allow that to happen or are there other settings to disallow unbudgeted transactions? Acumatically,Dave Z

Require Single Project per Document

General contractor here. I was told by a trainer that we needed to select the “Require Single Project per Document” spec in AP Preferences. I don’t remember the reason, but when we enter bills, it makes our lives much more difficult to enter AP bills one project at a time. Is there any reason deselecting this option would be a negative thing?  Thanks,Hannah

Tax Category Default on Revenue Tasks

Is there a way to have the Tax Category on a Revenue Task be defaulted without needed to manually select one? If someone forgets to add a tax category, that task when billed will not charge taxes to the customer and this could create tax reporting problems if not caught.

Purchase Order for Project - changing warehouse location on PO receipt will automatically change the Project ID to X ???

Before I submit a support ticket, I want to see if the Acumatica community knows how to resolve this workflow. Create purchase order for a project - using stock items as PO line items Create PO receipt - change warehouse location from default MAIN to B1A1 (indicating the shelf that this was placed on The system automatically changed the project ID to X - I cannot change this back. The project is set to track inventory by qty and cost. The warehouse location does not specify the project because it is not designated to that project specific. We can put anything on shelf B1A1. We may receive project material, put it on B1A1, then move it to another location (Transfer) - but this material is project-specific, it is not inventory. Anybody know how to achieve this?

Prepayment request for Subcontractors - Cannot change retainage

Hi,When we create a pre payment request for a subcontractor, it is not allowed to change the retainage percentage in the prepayment. I got to know this is a known issue not yet resolved. Is there any workaround to overcome this other than change the retainage in the subcontractor (Get back to the on hold status and change)  and then do the prepayment request ? The supposed workaround is not practical because if we have created at least one AP invoice, It is not allowed to get back to the on hold status.  Thank you,Dulanjana

Acumatica Time Keeping/Job Costing

Anyone out there using Acumatica Construction module with external time keeping?  Looking to connect with companies that are using partner software for time keeping to get some advice, pros / cons, etc. of these solutions. My company just started using Acumatica ERP and currently integrate with WorkMax for our time keeping solution.  We need to have employees clock in/out in real time and we are starting to do job costing, but are struggling with that.  Any suggestions on time keeping software or on how other construction companies have Acumatica set up and do job costing would be very helpful.

Change Request Status

I am importing Change Request data from another system into Acumatica.This particular data was given a status of “Void” in the other system.I noticed that Acumatica supports a status of “Rejected”. I am looking for an interactive way to assign the “Rejected” status to a selection of Change Request records(hopefully without having to create a Change Order).Thank you for reading this.-Ken Severud

Construction / Real Estate Development

Hi All,We began implementing Acumatica almost a year ago and have redone a few tenants since then due to changing minds etc. We’re using the Construction edition; have 30ish companies over 3 tenants. 1st tenant contains our Development project companies2nd tenant contains our Subtrade companies and Construction Management company3rd tenant contains all our Construction Management Projects for use in tracking costs for the owners (and to keep that data separate from tenant #2) We’ve had some hiccups implementing and changing things as we learn more about the system.ie. in construction I found it odd that a subcontract gets closed out automatically when the $ value is reached; what if there’s another change order on that subcontract further down the project line (which there often is).  We added an unused task with different cost code in each subcontract named “Force Subcontract to Remain Open” and gave it a dollar value of 0.01.  Now if the actual cost code item reaches or goes over the
