Is there an easy way to get the Project Address to auto-populate with the Default Location (the shipping Location ID specified on the Opportunity)?  

HiWe have recently gone live with Acumatica, the company doing the implementation With current live projects opening balances and revenues were loaded via the Project Transactions. With doing this process when we run the billing on a project, previous claim values and retainage is not recognised. How should I be re-doing the opening project balances so values are recognised so the progress claim/ Proform Invoices workflow can be utilized Thanks

Hi,I'm currently doing proforma invoices with retainage set at Contract Cap Retention 10% Cap 50% I leave Proforma Invoices on hold until payment is certified Due to the nature of different systems I often have my claim amounts approved but retainage calculations can differ. How can I affect retainage values without affecting claim values? These cells seem to be locked on both Revenue Budget and Proforma screens. Thanks

Dear Team,We are using vendor Attributes and Selectors as below but it is always showing Employee details.

I am having a problem when I print an AIA Proforma Invoice for a project that has a change order with a cancelled status.  The change order does not show on the second page of the report, but it shows in the cancelled change order value in the Change Order Summary area.  In the screenshot below, the additions should be $80,219.25.  There was is a cancelled change order in the value of $25,645 being included that shouldn’t be.  Is this a known issue or how could I customize the report to eliminate the cancelled change orders from the change order summary?

Dear community,We are doing some research and would like to hear from you - what kind of AI tools do you use on daily basis, in non-ERP scenarios?For example, do you use Copilot in MS Word or Excel? Do you use ChatGPT or Claude? How much time do you spend with these tools, e.g. hours per day or week? What is your role at your company? (e.g. CFO, consultant etc.) Thank you so much for your responses!

After the update last night, we have an issue when creating a change order. When we “add commitment” and select a subcontractor, it brings up every SC written to that contractor, rather than just the SC for the current project.  Anyone else having this issue?

I’m attempting to create an AP Bill that should post to the FA Accrual Account (142920) in order to track the CIP of an asset. Since this is a project-related transaction, I used the FA Accrual Account, which is configured in the Account Groups on the AP Bill, so that the actual values flow through to the project.Below is a screenshot of the AP Bill entry The Journal Entries: Debit the FA Accrual Account (142920) and Credit Accounts Payable (205101) which is correct.Screenshot of the Accounting Group showing the GL Account linked to the AP Bill, ensuring project costs update correctly. When I try to convert the purchase to an asset, on the release of the entry, I get the error: Error: Inserting 'GL Transaction' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors. Project is Required but was not specified. Account '142900 ' used in the GL Transaction is mapped to Project Account Group message.

Hello,I used to be able to reopen subcontracts that were in Construction > Projects > Commitments. I have since been playing around with access rights and now it is no longer an option.  What access rights will need to be configured in order to have access to this again?  Thank you,

Acumatica has a PMProjectRevenueTotal DAC which I can join to the Projects GI to display projects’ Contract Total.  Why does it not include a similar PMProjectExpenseTotal DAC?  I can implement a custom DAC, but I’m wondering why Acumatica doesn’t have one, in case I’m overlooking a difficulty implementing one.

We have noticed that even if a Task in a project has been labeled as a ‘Revenue Only’ task, costs are still able to be assigned to it in the form of material purchases and inventory transfers. Is this how it was intended to function? 

Is there a way to have the QR code open the mobile app to a specific appointment? The web version doesn’t do signatures but the mobile app does.  

We use Project Issues as a custom forms solution in via PM Classes and Attributes assigned to those classes.  As of today, we have a number of users whose iOS devices have updated to the most recent Acumatica Mobile App. In so doing, the ‘Attributes’ menu in the ‘Project Issues’ screen is no longer visible.  We found a workaround whereby uninstalling the app and reinstalling it seems to reinstate the Attributes availability on the Project Issues screen, but for a bunch of users that are relatively unsophisticated, it’s an incredibly arduous process to uninstall, reinstall, reconfigure server, go through two factor, etc.Is there a logical / good reason this happened?  I’m not trying to complain, but bugs like this are what make users / companies less confident in a system that they’re trusting to help run their business.

Dear partners,Could you please share your feedback on the integration with CFMA Benchmarker? Do your clients use it? Is there anything that we should improve in the integration?Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

I recently corrected a Pro Forma invoice with incorrect amounts by reversing the AR credit memo application and then correcting the Pro Forma(progressive), as explained in Acumatica Help . This worked well for standard cases(progressive).However, I’m looking for guidance on a more complex scenario:👉 How can we properly correct a released Pro Forma invoice that includes at least one Time & Material (T&M) line, especially if the AR document (payment or credit memo) has already been released and applied?Is reversing the AR application (via Application History > Reverse Application) still a valid option in this case? Or is there a different process required when T&M lines are involved?ThanksRaphael

Hello all,I'm reaching out today to see how to recognize revenue for fixed fee billing projects in Acumatica. When I run billing for a fixed fee/percent complete project, it will immediately recognize the entire amount billed as revenue, even if it is a downpayment before work on the project even starts. I've been trying to build an allocation rule that will move that amount to deferred revenue and move the balance back into revenue as we put time and materials into the project, but I haven't had much success with it. I'm curious as to how some of you go about this and any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,

The new feature to manually add lines to a pro forma should behave like when adding an AR Invoice, but I find when I do this, the inventory ID’s price does not populate.We are on Myob Acumatica so possible this works in Acumatica later versions as we are always behind the US?Client wants to add an adhoc fee as and when required, and wants to ensure the price for the fee adds to the proforma invoice automatically.  They must have pro-formas as using that to clean up WIP / what to invoice client.

Our company is looking to change the standard formatting of our cost codes. We have been operating in the Projects module with an older 5-digit cost code structure segmented as 00-000 (Division-Scope) and we are looking to move to the latest 6-digit standards segmented as 00-00-00 (Division-Broad Scope-Specific Scope).I’m trying to help determine the best way to:Keeping the 5 digit structure for In Progress jobs that cannot be converted Allowing new jobs to start using the 6 digit structureHoping someone else has experience with modifying segmented keys, I wish I could add an additional segment key, but Cost Code is too widely integrated and is limited to a single segmented key. 

I’m 98% sure the answer is no, but looking for any other input from the community…. Client uses FS Appointments for Projects Serial Number of inventory item is allocated/recorded on the FS Appt.  FS Appt. is billed to create Project Transactions IN Issue is then released Reflecting that the serial number has been issued to the project BUT… what if this was incorrect? How can this fixed, if at all? Is it possible to move this issued serialized inventory item from one project to another?I don’t see how this is currently possible. Any thoughts out there?  

What solutions have you implemented for costing equipment to projects at non-hourly rates? For example e a company owned jobsite trailer is on the project and they’d like that to cost to the project at a monthly rate for so long as it is onsite. Other equipment gets costed weekly or on daily basis. They’d like to assign the equipment and have it allocate automatically, not relying on equipment timecard entries.  I have a couple ideas but interested in hearing what has worked for others. 

Hello all,How can I calculate the original subcontract amount for an individual subcontract? Or where can I find it?The Ext Cost column looks to be dynamic but I’m looking to keep a track of the original cost too.
