Good,The issue is that when you create a quote with the same item number, say three times with different costs and then create the project the items are aggregated on one line.  (Operations has set a reduction protocol that reduces the the rate based on the amount of tools runs; 1st run at full price, 2nd run at half off, etc.)  I know I can make additional items numbers based on the protocol or make a discount code based on the rate.  We have over 10 different types of tools. The quote is provided to the customer based on the number runs.  This might change when the project begins either adding of deleting some. Questions,  How do I make the conversion to quote keep all the duplicate items on separate lines?  I don’t want them to aggregate.  Is this a billing rule?  Or Allocation update.  I am sort at a loss who to make Project Quote to Project conversion keep the lines separate without aggregating them.Thank you for your assistance.Evan

Currently when you upload the revenue items in a project, cost codes are not available to be imported.  Would be nice to extend this. Has anyone found a workaround, or created a customization?  We typically have 100 plus task on each project, would be nice to upload with all the other information. Thanks,Jeremy  

Anyone that uses Rental360, can anyone tell me what “enable rental corrections” entails? What part is it referring to for corrections?  

Hello all,How can one create task situated under Activities tab in PM301000. I came across Task templates screen, so I mapped the values and then setup the biz event that should be triggered when the Project status changes to Active. But it is not firing off. Can anyone guide me on this?

Team - one of our customers wants to limit the characters used for Project Tasks.  This is simple enough.  However, it turns out that the consultant who originally configured this customer somehow (???) added a Task to Project X.  To make matters more unnecessarily inconvenient, they used the maximum characters allowed by the segmented key.  I can neither open this task (on Project Tasks), delete the tasks using a Mass Update, or Update the Task ID (also using a Mass Update).  I’ve also tried renaming the Non-Project Code, but this isn’t helpful either. Is there a way, short of using a customization, that I can access this task to delete it? How in the world was this able to be done in the first place? Thanks in advance!

Wonder if anyone has started looking into the new Materials Management feature in the Construction edition and if so, any thoughts/feedback on it?It looks like it shows promise but we aren’t going to be using this in a typical construction scenario since we are focused on Custom Engineering projects and simpler/smaller types of transactions where we aren’t using hundreds of materials. Thank you.NOTE for Acumatica, please add a Tag for “Material Management” for posts.

Hello!Do any of you that use Payroll print multiple w2’s for multiple cities?  We have used Aatrix in the past but they say they can no longer do this because Acumatica is webbased. Thank you! Kay Howe

Does anyone know if this functionality has been improved?This is an operational situation we see, both planned an unplanned, where we want to be able to link demand from an existing Service Order to an existing Purchase Order.This is in order to account for changes/mistakes after the original purchase order was created from the demand and also we need to be able to take advantage of purchase requirements for vendors such as minimum order qty, total order amount, free shipping, etc.Our purchasing is not centralized and many people do their own purchasing as needed.There should be a way to link to demand from transactions that haven’t been purchased yet to existing purchase orders.One way would be to identify an Existing Purchase Order on the Create Purchase Orders screen before the processing happens.Another option is to have the ability to set the PO Detail Line Line Type to Goods for SO or Goods for FS and be able to lookup and set the Sales Order or Service Order detail line.Another

We have a requirement to restrict the release of SOs and Invoices linked to a Project: Current behavior: The system allows releasing SOs/Invoices even if the customer is different from the Project's customer. Our requirement: We want to block the release if the customer on the SO/Invoice does not match the Project's customer. The system should only allow releasing when the document customer is the same as the Project customer. Is there a way or setup to apply this rule to our system?

Hello all,How can we record loan (liability) against a project in acumatica? So the project will first start with construction which will be funded from loan - as a liability and not income. Then once the project is about to be closed, it is open to be sold out - so the interested prospect pays the deposit for the project which is also a liability and when the prospect signs off the deal, he’s converted to the customer and then the invoice is generated for that project.How can we handle the same in Acumatica? Since its project with 2 accounts - Loan & customer.

I would like to gather suggestions on how we cam handle intercompany transaction under a single Job in Acumatica? Also, looking to restrict the visibility of for instance, Company A data to not be visible under Company B and Vice Versa.What could be best practice?

Has anyone built out a dashboard or report view for a traditional bid board for an estimating/sales team managing multiple bids with various sub-contractors successfully? 

we are looking to a pricing type based on Project Price Class vs Customer Price Class.  Has anyone been able to accomplish this in the system.  We were exploring a customization for this but the price is coming back at $18,000.  i am looking to see if anyone else has come up with a solution for this.  We have 5 products with 6 different prices.   Thanks in advance for any ideas.  

Has anyone found a solution for onboarding new vendors? I saw where Acumatica may be working on an online portal for customers/vendors, but in the meantime can anyone recommend and external provider that allows the vendor to go online and enter their own information that can integrate with Acumatica, or be pulled and then imported to Acumatica manually?

Hi ,I have an expense which affects multiple projects. Can I enter one AP bill affecting multiple projects ? Thanks,Dulanjana 

With the latest update, Projects can now be marked as Active, Completed or Closed. When a project is marked Closed, I am unable to get the project transaction details. That box is now greyed out. Yes, I could click around for each line and get it, but a lot of my PMs like to refer back to closed jobs to see some of the details. Has anyone found a work around to this? Is anyone else frustrated? 

Hello All,We have a client migrating from Dynamics SL where they have the option to update the Cost at Completion with every Budget Revision.  They may have multiple Budget revisions on a single day, especially at the end of month.  We would like to recreate this functionality by creating a Cost Projection by Date for every Cost Budget in Acumatica, but are limited due to Acumatica only allowing one cost project for a date.Is there any plan to allow multiple Cost Projections by Date for a singe date or revise/correct a Cost Projection for a date?  Or..has anyone found a work around to allow multiple cost projections for a single date?Thanks!

After integrating Avalara and enrolling in the SST program, we had to map tax category codes and inventory ID’s to tasks used in billing. We started with tax category codes and only Avalara. The duplicated line items did not begin until we enrolled in the SST program and began using inventory ID’s (as instructed by Avalara).Has anyone experienced this issue and found a resolution? The duplicate line items appear whether it’s an older project (prior to Avalara integration) or a new project (after integration). Also, we use milestone billing for projects.

We are using the “cost projection by date” feature in 2026R1 to forecast WIP and Over Billings.  It is a very useful tool.  However, to match our month end, it would be beneficial to use to use the post period as the cut off for transactions rather than the invoice date.  Sometimes the post period does not match the invoice date as a result of month end accruals.   By not matching the post period with our month end it causes errors in our WIP and Over Billing calculations.   Is there a way to change the cut off to post period rather than invoice date within Cost Projection By Date?
