Construction

Hi,We have a client using Production Orders who also tracks production costs against Projects.They have a unique accounting requirement where the WIP Account and WIP Production Order Variance Account on the Production Order are configured to use the same GL account.The issue occurs when the Production Order is completed/closed. Acumatica reverses the Production Order costs from the Project and posts the amount to the same COGS account, but the offsetting entry is posted to the Non-Project (X) Project. As a result, the cost is no longer reflected against the original Project as desired.One solution I’m considering is creating a Generic Inquiry, Import Scenario, and Business Event to automatically generate a reclassification that moves the COGS amount back to the appropriate Project once the Production Order is completed.Has anyone encountered a similar requirement or found another way to handle this using standard Acumatica configuration? I’d be interested to hear if there is a cleaner

Hi Everyone,I’m having an issue while setting up a project budget in Acumatica and would appreciate any guidance.I tried to upload the Revenue Budget under the project, but the system did not upload all of the data from my file. In addition, one of the cost centers was uploaded incorrectly. Acumatica assigned a cost code/number that was not included in my upload file.The issue is that this cost code is not set up in the Cost Code list. I tried to select the correct cost code from the available list, but Acumatica does not accept the change and automatically repopulates the incorrect/non-existing cost code.I am now receiving the following error:Error: Unhandled exception has occurred, your changes have been rolled back: Error: An error occurred during processing of the field Cost Code: Error: 'Cost Code' cannot be found in the system.I also cannot delete the affected budget line because of this error.Has anyone encountered a similar issue with Project Budget setup or budget uploads in A

Hi,Is it possible that Compliance is shown at the subcontract level only rather than at a vendor/projects level? We don’t want warnings displaying for expired compliance when users have a project or vendor screen open We want the warnings to display on the Process Payments/Checks screen if there is compliance expired on any of the lines on ScreenId=AP505000 for example beside the Vendor field 

As a part of our current process we need to individually type “100” for each line before we can “Run Billing” to generate the ProForma Invoice.Is there a way to have an action button that could complete this or a way to enter into one cell and copy to all of the others? Any Recommendations.Thanks!

I have not been able to find a successful method for this yet.Wrong stock item was issued to a project/cost budget. The correct item has since been issued, but trying to remove or reverse the wrong item out of the project. I can do a receipt or adjustment back into stock on the inventory side if needed, but I am unable to determine how to reverse the issue project transaction to correct the project. Thank you,Greg

Dear community!We always listen to your feedback and it is very helpful and valuable.I’m glad to share that in 26R1 we are introducing improvements to Project–Branch defaulting in Purchasing and AP documents. More details will be available in the release notes soon.We are continuing to move in this direction. At the moment, our main focus is on Employee Time Cards and Employee Time Activities in combination with Payroll and corresponding Project transactions and Journal transactions.We would really appreciate your feedback, especially around real-life payroll and time entry scenarios. In particular:Do you have cases where employees enter time for projects that belong to a different branch than the employee has, and this creates issues after time is released or payroll is processed? What is the semantic of the branches of such clients? Which payroll (built-in or external) is used? What branch do your customers expect to see in the project expense and employee liability and why? Which

 Dear Community,We’re preparing our reporting framework to support parent–child project hierarchies.We want to hear your thoughts on how each existing report (from the list below) should look and behave when it’s run for a parent project versus a child project. Your input will help us avoid double‑counting, make drill‑downs intuitive, and keep financials audit‑ready across rollups.What feedback we’re collecting:UI expectations per report: what should change when the report scope is a parent vs child project? Aggregation rules: what must be summed, averaged, recalculated, or eliminated at the parent level? Filtering & drill‑down: which filters, groupings, and drill paths are essential (e.g., Parent → Child → Cost Code → Transaction)? Gaps: any missing reports you rely on for parent-child project management that aren’t listed below.Please evaluate your feedback against these parent–child project types:Parent Project – container only aggregates cost and revenue from child projects e

I’ve seen a few other posts mentioning odd behavior with different time zones between employees.Here is what I need to resolve - User A - Eastern Time Zone. Branch A. They create a time card with 8 hours on Monday - Saturday, so 48 hours total.User B - Central Time Zone. Branch B. They view User A’s timecard and can see 8 hours Monday - Thursday but Friday is now showing 16 hours, nothing for Saturday. Tried creating a second work calendar with time zone of EST and work hours 9am - 6pm but same issue. This is causing issues because User B is the one that would be processing payroll and it’s posting incorrectly.  

Hi Team,We have an issue with a progress draw project in Acumatica. After the second progress draw invoice was processed, there are new revenue budget lines created and negative amounts sitting in the pending invoice amount column. The positive amounts entered in the pending invoice amount column correspond to what the actual amount is currently short by.  The net impact is $0. The new lines were created by the system after the second progress draw was done. We tried running billing and invoicing the amounts, but they didn’t clear out. Why did this happen? And how do we fix it so we can process the next progress draw?Please advise

We are trying to implement Acumatica (Construction) and we would like to have 2 allocation rules 1) for fixed price projects where COGs and Revenue is recognized as a % of completion and 2) an Allocation Rule where costs, including overhead, accumulate in WIP until the project is invoiced.We are 99% there with the fixed price, but for time and material, the Allocation Rule is crediting the overhead expense for the correct amount, but is showing a negative expense balance on the project.  The GL accounting is correct, but the project accounting is not.  Any help on modifying the allocation rule would be appreciated. 

Variance Amount columns for example only display in Classic UI

Hi,I have a client that presist that “Pending Invoice Amount” was incorrectly calculated before/after completing project.I have advised with offcial exaplanation Acumatica is that “If the line is billed based on amount, you specify this value manually” & advised this is manually editable.Could there be any other explanation for this behavior?  

As the title says we changed our budget layout a year later.  We reclassified many transactions through the Reclassify Transactions process screen.  Worked great for the Cost Budget but then noticed that in the Revenue Budget everything put through already appears to be a negative:  On an old tab I noticed that the Reclassification screen was still loaded with transactions I didn’t reclassify (because they didn’t add with the Cost Budget #’s I was looking for).  However on one line in the Revenue Budget it’s value for Actual Amount was the exact same as the 2 transactions showing that I didn’t reclassify.  Little confused here.This is going to seriously mess up our AIA report.  I reversed all 80 of the GL reclassifications I did believing that would fix the Revenue Budget; however it did not.Any help would be greatly appreciated; not sure what I did wrong nor how to fix it. 

Is there a way to email AIA invoices similar to how the Proforma can be automatically sent?

Is there a way to “Close” inactive projects? When we updated there is now a “Close” option in projects after “Completing” a project. I’d like to close all of the projects we have complete that will allow me to “Close”. Is there a way I can mass close without going into each individual project?

We are currently on 2025R1 and noticed this week that we are unable to add a new record from the Subcontracts primary list. When it was reported by a user, I checked user rights and this individual has full access to that screen.  I as an admin also am no longer able to see the ‘+’ sign to add a new record form the SC3010PL screen.   As a workaround we are able to add a new record by opening an existing record and clicking the ‘+’ from there, or from the Commitments screen of a project. Our production instance is: Build 25.101.0153.9 + Our Sandbox, which is build Build 25.101.0153.2 +, has the ‘+’ on the pl list.  I even made a copy of the Subcontracts PL in our Sandbox, exported it and imported to our Live instance, and the ‘+” is no longer visible.  Wondering if anyone out in the community has seen this behaviour and/or what else I should do to troubleshoot it?   There was a patch applied to our Prod instance last week so am wondering if this might have anything to do with that. 

We had a customization made to handle Item requirements in Projects. We transfer the product from our Stock warehouse to the truck our team uses. Then, when relieving the material to the Project, we want it to come off the truck, but instead it defaults to the Stock warehouse. This results in sometimes 50 lines that need to be individually altered, thus our need for a customization. Any recommendations for a better process - ideally, someone who transfers inventory to a different location before it is relieved to a project?

Hi everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on handling two different retainage amounts on a single AP invoice in Acumatica.For example, suppose we have:AP invoice: $100,000 Retainage 1: 10% ($10,000)  →default Retainage  GL account 2000-to be released when the project reaches completion Retainage 2: 5% ($5,000) → New Retainage GL account 2100 → to be released 12 months later Net amount paid to the vendor initially: $85,000I would like to track these as two separate retainage liabilities, with each going to a different GL account and having its own release timing.However, I don't see an option in Acumatica to configure two retainage accounts and two separate levels/stages of retainage release on the same AP invoice.Has anyone dealt with this scenario in Acumatica?Is there a standard way to:Record two different retainage amounts on one AP invoice; Post each retainage amount to a different GL account; and Release each retainage independently at different times?If this isn't supported by th

Hi everyone,I need some advice on a tricky situation: We want to add delivery costs as Landed Cost on a PO Receipt so it goes into our inventory value. But our delivery workers are individual contractors. We manage them using Subcontracts to automatically calculate their Personal Income Tax (PIT). Landed Costs usually link to regular AP Bills, not Subcontracts.Has anyone found a smart workaround (maybe using clearing accounts or special setups) to get delivery costs into inventory while still handling Subcontract PIT taxes?I know this is not a standard feature, but I would love to hear your ideas!Thanks a lot!

Hello community,I would like to know how can a user allocate a specific inventory for a specific project. i am looking if Acumatica can allow us to allocate qty for future purposes for a particular project.Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for a couple of fields in the construction project portal:Customer Project Contact in Construction (which would pull from Customer Contacts) With the ability to have that contact flow through to invoices/change orders etc. Customer Reference Number for Projects. Again, we have a built out user defined field to capture this. But the reference number does not automatically flow through to billing.Has anyone else noticed the lack of these fields? Is everyone creating User defined fields? I’m just surprised these fields do not come standard ‘out-of-box’

Anyone have a working import scenario to delete Project Template Tasks?Due to how the template format is in the screen, it seems that it cannot find the Project Template.  I tried a few ways even using the description, but it is unable to find the record. Client uses two segments for their project task record, and it looks like the screen only shows the first segment and this might be part of the problem.When you pass the template ID with two segments it says it doesnt exist.I can use the GI but as there is about 2800 records this takes some time.

i have a client who is using task, item and cost code on their cost budget.  everything has it’s own description (task is filled out on the task tab of the project) however, when i add the cost code to the cost budget, the description inputs the cost code description, not the task description or the item description.  i was wondering if there was a way to change what description defaulted to that (ideally, i would like the inventory description to populate in the field): 

We are almost ready for Go-live and the customer noticed that the description from the change request isn’t carried over to the Change Order. The process:Change request creation 00001 Click on the Create Change Order button to create the Change Order  While looking at the cost budget it’s empty. As seen on the screenshot below: 

The method in which retainage for Proforma/AIA invoices is done, is causing extra work on our team. With Acumatica's method of not being able to run an invoice and a retainage invoice with the same date has a high risk for error and corrections. A product enhancement to change the function and flow for retainage invoices that require an AIA should be looked at. Our legacy system allowed us to process these easier. Is there anything in the works to enhance this function?
