Hi everyone,I’m working on a Time & Material billing rule in Acumatica, and I want to implement a condition where a different rule or formula is applied if a Purchase Order (PO) is linked to a Change Order (CO). Specifically, I’d like to adjust the Line Amount Formula to account for this condition.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:My current formula is:=[PMTran.Amount]*CDbl([PMProject.A3_Attributes]) However, I’m unsure if Acumatica natively supports detecting whether a PO is tied to a CO within the billing rule logic.Can Acumatica dynamically identify this linkage during billing rule execution, or do I need to implement a customization (e.g., adding a custom field to flag linked transactions)? If anyone has experience with similar scenarios or can suggest the best approach, I’d greatly appreciate it!Thank you in advance! 😊

Hi Community, I’m wondering has anyone worked on a solution for New York State Capital Improvement Tax, possibly a GI or Report?Details:When doors/windows are installed into a home, home owner does not pay Tax (it is considered Capital Improvement transaction) BUT the company who has sold/supplied the doors/windows has to pay tax on the cost of materials which is on a linked purchase order.

Hi!I have a requirement where Stock Items are usually purchased to inventory, but sometimes times they are purchased for specific project(s).When purchased to specific Project the stock should not come into inventory and just hit project as Expense.Project Drop-Ship PO works well for this scenario.BUT Project Drop-Ship can only be raised for ONE Project at the time. This client, more often then not, purchases across 2-3 projects on one PO. I am thinking I could customise the Project on line to be editable? Has anybody done this before? We have customised AR Invoice before and allowed Project Edit on lines, and it was small customisation, would it be the same here for Purchase Order screen? Thank you in advance. 

I am trying to use the Load Records from File function to import tasks into a project, however it appears as though certain properties cannot be uploaded such as Default Cost Subaccount… is there a way to enable those fields? 

Have configured a Fixed Price Project with Allocation rules to correct recognize revenue. The project task specifies the same Non-Billable WIP Account as the allocation rule. When project billing is run the allocation transaction(s) are reversed correctly. I note that 100% of the allocation is reversed with the first billing regardless of the Completion % and invoice amount. I presume there is no apportionment possible?My problem is that if I have two Revenue budgets and project billing runs on one of these, then although the allocation transaction is on the same task there is no reversal. Even when the entire project is 100% complete/billed there is no reversal. The PM allocation transactions can be reversed manually. Is this correct behavior of can allocations somehow be reversed in this case? 

In construction edition, the Retained Amount in Revenue Budget should decrease after releasing retainage. It does not always. Anyone know how to get it to decrease every time?

We are mainly using invoices from project pro proma. One objective of our company would be to create one pro forma per week in order to follow correctly our pucoming sales and wip (from pro forma, we can decide if the actual transaction is billable, or a write off)On the client’s side though, we would like to compine multiple pro forma into one invoice, in order to bill our client twice or once a month, without having to redo the whole proforma process Is it possible in acumatica? Thanks  

Hi,To get our inventory transactions to have correct financial coding, we were told to:Set Project-Specific Inventory = True on the Enable / Disable Features (CS100000) form Activate all the warehouses on the Warehouses (IN204000) form (there already is a related bug for correcting this behaviour ) Initialize Stock on the Recalculate Project Balances (PM504000) formWith the feature enabled, the project keys are correctly filled in the inventory GL transactions and the corresponding PM transactions are generated as expected.During the change we also updated warehouse GL fields.However, transactions are erroring due to inventory going negative which is not true since we can see the inventory.Any leads would be greatly appreciated as always.Thank you,Dave Z

Hello all,I am trying to create an Actual Gross Margin % in the Project Module. I tried the first part and it correctly calculates the Gross Margin $. And the second part correctly shows the Actual Revenue. =(iif([PMBudget.Type] = 'I',[PMBudget.CuryActualAmount],0) - iif([PMBudget.Type] = 'E',[PMBudget.CuryActualAmount],0))/(iif([PMBudget.Type] = 'I',[PMBudget.CuryActualAmount],0))But when I put the divide sign in between it returns rubbish.I am relatively new to GI and am struggling to understand where I am going wrong.Any guidance would be most gratefully accepted.Cheers, Andrew   

How do I apply retainage to a Subcontract that has already been released?   I cannot make any revisions, everything is grayed out.  When I attempt to create an invoice, it also won’t let me apply retainage.

Hi all, Our Projects could have up to 25 tasks. We bill on certain tasks by adding the amount to Pending Invoice amount and running project billing. When we do that, the invoice will have 0.00 lines for each task and 1 line for the task that we entered an amount. Is this the expected behavior? Can that be turned off? Thank you

Does anyone know of any existing functionality around archiving projects that are no longer active? I’d like to be able to archive/inactivate them to the point that they do not show up on search lists when using the search bar.

Hello everyone, My company is currently on Sage 300 CRE, looking at moving to Acumatica. We’re heavy Procore users and the lack support for syncing prime contracts and prime C/O’s between Acumatica and Procore in the past has prevented us from making the switch. I understand that this feature has been enabled in a fairly recent release, but so far the references we’ve been sent by our Acumatica & Procore resale partner are not using this feature. Has anyone actually enabled this feature that would be willing to hop on a quick video call and show us how it works?

How does one return to the original width of fields after clicking "Fit to Screen"?

Hello,I’m interested in importing our client’s Project budget by month into the Project Budget Forecast screen.  I have a lot of experience importing to Transaction screens, Profile Screens, and Preferences screens… but the Project Budget Forecast screen looks very different .The first step of designing any import is to manually enter the same transaction, and when I manually type a project and revision # in the Project Budget Forecast screen, the screen populates itself and resulting lines aren’t available for edit. The project fields are not populated to every line so I’m having trouble understanding how an import would work.Before I spend a lot of time figuring this out…. can anyone confirm if it is possible to import to the Project Budget Forecast screen??  Thank you.  

I thought that the system would prevent me from posting a payroll transaction to a completed project (and completed task) but it allowed me to.  I noticed I had FA Supervisor role so I removed that role from my access and did it again.Does anyone know how to prevent this?  I’m aware there are customers that want to be able to do this, but I’m trying to figure out how to prevent it. Thank you

Project templates upon saving errors. 'Contact' cannot be empty. 

We undertake periodic air-condition units’ maintenance for clients and the norm is the service and spares prices are agreed on annually. These negotiated prices differ from client to client and the AR sales worksheet handles that nicely. Expectation: All inventory hitting a client’s project either from inventory issue or project drop-ship should pick it prices from the agreed figures in the AR sales worksheet. These pricing will feed into the project billingQuestion: Can 2024 R1 handle that or this should be treated as an idea?? 

We are using the date in the Billing Rule, Invoice settings, Line Description formula.  We are using [PmTran.Date] and it give me the MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM.  Is there a way to format this with just the date?
