Project Tasks vs Cost Codes

Both Project Tasks and Cost Codes provide ways to break out project transactions into data subsets. To better understand Acumatica’s design, would love some forum user feedback as to real world examples of the following:Project Tasks Cost CodesAny explanation of the difference between these two dat...

Construction/Projects - Security - Can't REVOKE "Allow Adding New Items on the Fly" checkbox on Projects screen on the Summary tab.

I am not able to disable/Revoke this permission. Found the setting name in two nodes (projects and project preferences, but those settings did not block the ability to check the box and save the project)

Allow API to extend Stock and Non-Stock item data for use with external estimating systems.

We have several clients and 2 current prospects that would like the ability to have inventory item information (descriptions and prices/costs) exposed to external estimating systems so these items stay “in sync.”

Change Orders

We have really changed the way the Change Order process for a specialty contractor works. If anyone would like to work together and collaborate on reports and small improvements to the screens I would like to start a user group. My goal is too leave all the Acumatica functionality in place so upgra...

Subcontracts

When entering into the subcontract where do I enter the verbiage detail that would go onto the Subcontract (LF) report as the Exhibit A page?

Project Summary Tab- within the Project

It would be very useful to have a single tab within the Project that pulled in key metrics that every project manager needs to be aware. All of this information exists in Acumatica- but not in one place where a PM can get an overview. On this tab I would want the following metrics:Current Contract V...

Ability to add Superintendent and Project Coordinator under the Project Manager on Project Summary tab

See post 3584 on Ideas!

Daily Field Report - Subcontractor Crew Reporting - Examples and Best Practices

Acumatica Community - Looking to collaborate and share on the topic of Daily Field Reports in construction (specifically subcontractors)We are working through our setup and implementation, and I wanted to reach out and see who all out there might be willing to collaborate and share experiences and l...

GAAP revenue recognition

How to automatically update project current margin estimate that equals total revenue budget minus total cost budget divided by total revenue budget?

Construction Reports

Do you have any construction reports that you’ve created or modified that you’d like us to add to the product and eliminate your worries about compatibility after each release?

Add the Ability to track Subcontract Change Order Number on the Change Order form

On the Change Order form, it is helpful to have the ability to create Owner and Commitment Change Orders and revise the budgets in one form. However, the change order form tracks the Revenue Change Order number. We also need the ability to track the Commitment Change Order number. The Change Order...

Crew Time Reporting

When creating a Crew Time Reporting Entry, the first week that pops up as an option to click dates back to 2004. Should it not default to the current week that we are in, based upon the calendar within Acumatica?

Expense Reporting in Batches

When working on a project we could have 50 employees for which our foreman will enter time via Crew Time Reporting. However, we also could have certain expenses for the 50 employees like a Meal Allowance if they all do overtime in a day or if working in an area that requires for them to pay parking,...

Is there a way to limit a Project Task and Cost Code combination to only those that exist on a Project Cost Budget?

In many screens, such as PO, Issue, AP Bill, Receipt, even Project Transactions, the system allows a user to choose an existing Project Task and then apply any Cost Code existing on the project to that Task even if that combination of Project Task/Cost Code does not exist on the Project Cost Budget....

Project Margin Calculation Automation

How to automatically update project current margin estimate that equals total revenue budget minus total cost budget divided by total revenue budget? Sounds like we have to spread revenue across all tasks which does not reflect reality, so just curious if someone found another way.

Add a cost performance percentage to the revenue tab so you don’t have to jump between tabs to fill out a schedule of values.

This would essentially be U/O billings from right within the projects screen which would be so convenient.

What table has the employee delegate?

We are trying to create an employee validation GI, but can’t figure out where the employee delegate information is stored. Is there something like a data dictionary? Thanks

Fixed Asset Depreciation: Units-of-Production

Acumatica supports Fixed Assets Depreciation by “units-of-Production” on top of the usual Straight-Line and Declining-Balance.This ‘units-of-production’ depreciation is useful, especially for the Construction Industry where the Assets are depreciated by the usage-of-the-Assets during construction. W...
