Smartsheet Integration for 2023 R1

@Omar Ghazi  When will the Smartsheet Integration be upgraded for compatibility with 2023 R1?  The latest version available in GitHub for 2022 R2 fails validation on Build 23.103.0013.  I have a client that relies heavily on this integration and is planning their upgrade to 2023 R1.

Construction Cost Budget Tab

We have a client on 2022 R2 that has the Construction module. Under Projects in the Cost Budget, users are able to delete a line item that has amounts reflected under the Actual Amount Column and Save without any warning messages. Is this a known issue or possible bug? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Frances

How to account for third party Equipment (Accrual)

Whe you have rental machine that you collect time card for in the system. Upon releasing this time card you get an expense that will update my budget line meaning that I will clear my accrued liability with the supplier Invoice. The reconciliation seems cumbersome due to the number of PM transactions created by the Equipment time cards. Is there a work around to this  or anyone with a good idea on report?. Project Transaction - Time card Time Card.GL Transaction. Receiving Invoice at Month end reconciliation required.-  Cheking the project transaction and referencing to time cards. If the balance of the Time cards and bill are not the same adjust via the Time card correct Function.

Project - How to set different currencies on Project Currency & Billing Currency

Hello All,We are a trading material company. We buy materials from different countries and sell them in our based country. On the Construction/ Project function, we type Cost Budget as the sourcing country's currency (usually in USD & EUR) but the Invoice must be issued in based currency (VND).When trying to set Project Currency = USD, Billing Currency = VND, the error message from the system shows “Another billing currency is not supported because the project currency USD differs from the base currency VND.”Therefore, we can't use the different currencies on Project Currency & Billing Currency.Really appreciated it if you have any ideas for this case.Thanks all,Yên Chi

Project Quote: Is there a work around to add a Qualification/Scope of Work Section?

The project quote is for our customer and there is no area in Project Quotes to add a detailed description for our scope of work.  We are using notes but it is such a small section it is hard to use and then can only have data in it for the project quote.

Construction Projects - Amount Paid

I’m trying to incorporate the amount paid into a progress report for the projects in the construction module. I have still not been able to figure out how to build the relationships correctly between the tables and have it happen.These are the current tables in the report:And these are the relationships that work so far:. This is what my report looks like, but the “Balance” Collumn is what I’m looking at. I want to show either the amount already paid, or the balance still owed off of current invoiced amount.Any suggestions?

Rebilling AIA/Pro Forma after Reversing a Progress Billing

All, We are new to Acumatica, and we are running into an issue when we have to reverse a progress billing. We reversed it using the Proforma, not the AR function, and applied the credit memo as we have been trained. The issue we have now is when we try to rebill the project, the system reflects the percent billed that we reversed and we cannot correct it. We need the ability to reverse and later rebill the same percentage without issue. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how did you correct it?

Error when saving a PO "Error: 'BAccountID' cannot be empty."

When I need to add/revise a line of a PO, I get an error.  It’s been happening when I try to enter an AP bill as well.  I’ve looked at the vendor profile and viewed the account, made a small change then saved.   Then changed the vendor in the PO, saved, and changed it back, but I cannot save the PO and the error continues to appear.   Anyone know how I can correct this?

Multiple WIP accounts with Progress Billing

In the construction edition using Progress Billing is there a work around to use multiple WIP accounts?  We currently set up our projects with multiple costs codes using different account groups to each Task.  We want to use WIP for proper accounting, however the issues lies when we go to invoice a project task we can only select 1 WIP account group to apply reversing transactions.  This means all of our project transactions (material, labor, other) must be grouped in to a single WIP account to ensure all these transactions are reversed upon invoicing.  We then loose transparency of the project costing having only a single costing account to view until invoiced.  This doesn’t seem to be a problem using Time and Material billing method, because we don’t have to select a single WIP account on the project task.

Restriction groups and project account groups

Restriction groups seem to behave differently with project account groups than they do for GL accounts.In the GL, you cannot see the balance of a restricted account or any associated transaction. In the Project module, if you have a restriction on an account group, you can still see the balance of that account group from the Balances tab, but you cannot check the transaction details.I reviewed the documentation to see if this is by design, but couldn’t find any mention of that. One of our customers is relying on this behaviour but I warned them this may be an oversight and that the behaviour could change in the future.I wanted to check here before opening a support ticket in the portal.

Forecasting in Acumatica

Are you using Project Budget Forecasting (PM209600) or Cost Projections (PM305000)? If yes, are you getting the desired results? Do you wish you could do more?  If no, why not? Do you need additional functionality for your specific workflows? Could you use a short training session to get you started?

Project / Revenu : Task only - Revenu budget tab : "Bad" Task description

Hello, our project config is as is for revenue :Configuration of the project When we convert a project quote into a project, the system renames all items(tasks in our case, by the configuration above ) in the Revenue Budget table with the word "Aggregated", so we lose the description of the task (which comes from the task tab). The task descriptions must therefore be copied from the Task tab and pasted into the Revenu budget tab manually. Can we fix this? Task Description Result : Task description is not here
